Here may I live what life I please,Married and buried out of sight,Married to pleasure, and buried to pain,Hidden away amongst scenes like theseUnder the fans of the chestnut trees:Living my child-life over again,With the further hope of a fuller delight,Blithe as the birds and wise as the bees.In green old gardens hidden awayFrom sight of revel, and sound of strife,Here have I leisure to breathe and move,And do my work in a nobler way;To sing my songs, and to say my say;To dream my dreams, and to love my love,To hold my faith and to live my life,Making the most of its shadowy day.—Violet Fane.
