    Little I ask; my wants are few;
    I only wish a hut of stone
    (A very plain brown stone will do),
    That I may call my own;
    And close at hand is such a one
    In yonder street that fronts the sun.

He calls his wish, it comes; he sends it back,
And says he called another; that arrives,
Meets the same welcome; yet he still calls on;
Till one calls him, who varies not his call,
But holds him fast, in chains of darkness bound,
Till Nature dies, and judgment sets him free;
A freedom far less welcome than this chain.
