and you've lost your golden treasure,
If times you think you're lonely
and have hungry grown for pleasure,

You will know the thrill of battle
fighting foes that will beset it
If you long for entertainment and
for pageantry most glowing,
Plant a garden and this summer spend
your time with green things growing.”
