WHO HATH A BOOK

Who hath a book

Has friends at hand,

And gold and gear

At his command;

And rich estates,

If he but look,

Are held by him

Who hath a book.

Who hath a book

Has but to read

And he may be 

A king indeed;

His kingdom is

His inglenook;

All this is his

Who hath a book.

Wilbur D. Nesbit
