Where, in an atmosphere his own. He passes aimlessly the day Among the flowers, or chasing bees That sip the honey they contain; Seeming as though he looked on these As enemies in his domain. 98 SIMPLE JOE He never speaks, nor does he heed The voice that beckons him away, Unless it be the voice of need Which summons him to meals each day; And at such time it's understood, That he is near to someone's bin Having collected coal and wood, Waiting, ready to bring it in. Somehow he seems to know rig...ht well He ought to work for what he gets. In this does he more than excel The lordly idler, who besets Society, and does not toil Nor do a thing, whereby to earn E'en the respect of those who moil With lamps that ever dimly burn. Harmless? Why, sir, he wouldn't harm A living thing God placed on earth; To him all creatures have a charm Which makes them seem of double worth; Besides, he's welcome everywhere, In any house he wants to go; However scanty be the fare There's always some for simple Joe.
