Cheery Beggar
Beyond Mgdalen and by the Bridge, on a place called there the Plain, In Summer, in a burst of summertime Following falls and falls of rain, When the air was sweet-and-sour of the flown fineflower of Those goldnails and their gaylinks that hang along a lime; . . . . . . . . The motion of that man's heart is fine Whom want could not make pne, pne That struggling should not sear him, a gift should cheer him Like that poor pocket of pence, poor pence of mine.
