"His Desire" by Robert Herrick

[jeeniya]

Give me a man that is not dull,
When all the world with rifts is full,

But unamazed dares clearly sing
When as the roof's a tottering;

And, though it falls, continues still
Tickling the cittern with his quill.

rifts: faults
cittern: guitar

I have read so many poems in my English class, but this definitely is my favorite one so far.
