"Man wants but little here below
Nor wants that little long,"
'Tis not with me exactly so;
But 'tis so in the song.
My wants are many, and, if told,
Would muster many a score;
And were each wish a mint of gold,
I still should long for more."
Author: John Quincy Adams

And close at hand is such a one
In yonder street that fronts the sun."
