The Land of Heart's Desire, by William Butler Yeats

"
To sit beside the board and drink good wine
And watch the turf smoke coiling from the fire
And feel content and wisdom in your heart,
This is the best of life; when we are young
We long to tread a way none trod before,
But find the excellent old way through love
And through the care of children to the hour
Forbidding Fate and Time and Change goodbye."
