The Happy Man

________________________________________________
Title:     The Happy Man
Author: G. K. Chesterton [More Titles by Chesterton]

To teach the grey earth like a child,
To bid the heavens repent,
I only ask from Fate the gift
Of one man well content.

Him will I find: though when in vain
I search the feast and mart,
The fading flowers of liberty,
The painted masks of art.

I only find him at the last,
On one old hill where nod
Golgotha's ghastly trinity--
Three persons and one god.

[The end]
G K Chesterton's poem: Happy Man
