I Envy Them Who Never Yearn

I envy them who never yearn for riches and renown Who with others never compete for success in their side of the town Quite happy with their lot in life and easily satisfied The smiling Goddess of Happiness is surely on their side With others in them they don't have the need for success to compete For to be best in their neighbourhood or be best on their street For the demon greed of unhappiness in their minds there's no space The Human World for them in it is a far happier place I envy them for their happiness they do know of mind ease It can be truly said of them that they are not hard to please At living happy sort of lives they surely do succeed In that sense one can say of them that they know of success indeed They feel quite happy in their lives and enjoy every day And they are successful people in their own sort of way.
