Mature Man
The happiest man
I ever knew
Was scarcely
Clad at all;
He had no bath
Like me and you,But owned a waterfall.
And every sunrise he would wade
The streamlet silver bright,
To stand beneath the clear cascade
With sheer delight.
The happiest man I ever knew
Lived in a forest glade;
His hut of palm-leaf and bamboo
With his own hands he made.And for his breakfast he would pick
A bread-fruit from the tree,
Or lobster he would gaily flick
From out the sea.
Thank you Neil Paul for yet another fascinating reading. Also thank you to Elizabeth for sharing the above poem "Mature Man" by Robert Service.
