SIMPLICITY.

Emily Dickinson

How happy is the little stone That rambles in the road alone, And does n't care about careers, And exigencies never fears;

Whose coat of elemental brown A passing universe put on; And independent as the sun, Associates or glows alone,

Fulfilling absolute decree In casual simplicity.
