Give a man a horse he can ride, br Give a man a boat he can sail; br And his rank and wealth, his strength and health, br On sea nor shore shall fail. br br Give a man a pipe he can smoke, br Give a man a book he can read: br And his home is bright with a calm delight, br Though the room be poor indeed. br br Give a man a girl he can love, br As I, O my love, love thee; br And his heart is great with the pulse of Fate, br At home, on land, on sea.
