The poem celebrates solitude and living a simple life on a small farm, needing only what the land provides. It describes a man who is happy and content breathing the native air in his own ground, with herds that provide milk, fields with bread, and flocks that supply attire. He is blessed to find hours, days and years slide by in good health, peace of mind, and quiet meditation. The poem wishes to live and die unseen and unknown, stealing away from the world without a trace.
