NOT MUCH.
A little bit of life, A little bit °f love. A little bit of happinesss, And* money; just to shove Up the hill and over , To make our journey sweet— And yet we do- not ask much, "We sav to all we meet: Not much, not much, Only all there is Of richness and of beauty In a world like this! A little bit of fortune. j A little bit of smile: ! A little bit of nowadays, I A^little afterwhile; A little bit to dine on. A little bit to sip. A tender nrm, a red cheek, A kiss upon the lip: ! Not much, not much, ) Only all that, men Have fought for and toiled for ! And alwavs will again! i \ A little bit of gladness. \ A little bit of song; I A little bit of goodnesss. A helping over wrong ; A little' bit of friendship, [ A little bit of rest, i A little bit of beauty In a love-lined nest: Not much, not much. j Just enough to seem j The life ever longed for j Come true in dream! I
