 SUSSEX

gave all men all earth to love,

But since out hearts are small,

Ordained for each one spot should prove

Beloved over all;

That as He watched Creation's birth,

So we, in godlike mood,

May of our love create our earth

And see that it is good.

So one shall Baltic pines content,

As one some Surrey glade,

Or one the palm-grove's droned lament

Before Levuka's trade.

Each to his choice, and I rejoice

The lot has fallen to me

In a fair ground—in a fair ground—

Yea, Sussex by the sea!
