Versos English John Drinkwater Vi

English poem

Vi

by

Listen in the reader

I woo the world, with burning will to be Delighted in all fortune it may find, And still the strident dogs of jealousy Go mocking down the tunnels of my mind.

Only for you my contemplation goes Clean as a god’s, undarkened of pretence, Most happy when your garner overflows, Achieving in your prosperous diligence.
