The rich man has his motor-car,
His country and town estate.
He smokes a fifty-cent cigar
And jeers Fate.
He frivols through the livelong day,
He knows Poverty her pinch.
His lot seems light, his heart gay,
He has a cinch.
Yet though my lamp low and dim,
Though I must slave for livelihood—
you that I would change with him?
You bet would!
