A Happy Man by Edwin Arlington Robinson

​When these graven lines you see, 
Traveller, do not pity me; 
Though I be among the dead, 
Let no mournful word be said. 

Children that I leave behind,  (daughters) 
And their children, all were kind; 
Near to them and to my wife, 
I was happy all my life. 

My three sons I married right, (daughters) 
And their sons I rocked at night; (children) 
Death nor sorrow never brought 
Cause for one unhappy thought. 

Now, and with no need of tears, 
Here they leave me, full of years,-- 
Leave me to my quiet rest 
In the region of the blest.
