Mine be a cot beside the hill;
A beehive's hum shall soothe my ear;
A willowy brook that turns a mill,
With many a fall, shall linger near.
--
A Wish, reported in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919).Samuel Rogers

Mine be the breezy hill that skirts the down,
Where a green grassy turf is all I crave,
With here and there a violet bestrewn,
Fast by a brook or fountain’s murmuring wave;
And many an evening sun shine sweetly on my grave!James Beattie
I wandered by the brookside,
I wandered by the mill;
I could not hear the brook flow,
The noisy wheel was still.Richard Monckton Milnes Houghton
The mine owners "did not find the gold, they did not mine the gold, they did not mill the gold, but by some weird alchemy all the gold belonged to them!"
Bill Haywood
My prayer is to linger with you
At the end of the day in a dream that's divine;
My prayer is a rapture in blue
With the world far away and your lips close to mine.Jimmy Kennedy
No use to fall down on my knees
and beg for mercy's sake.
Nothing I counted mine, out of my life,
is mine to take...Anna Akhmatova
