Pittance
Language: English
We have enough the gale that blusters at the door And whips up froth along the shore is lost on us The walls are thin, but warm within and held against the dim We have enough though shelves be bare of things to eat, The stove is cheery? With the heat which fills the house. The love of brother cradles here and love is life and life is dear We have enough.
