There's a soft rosy glow o'er the whole world to-day, There's a freshness and fragrance that trembles in May, There's a lilt in the music that vibrates and thrills From the uttermost glades to the tops of the hills. Oh! I am so happy, my heart is so light, The shades and the shadows have vanished from sight, This wild pulsing gladness throbs like a sweet pain— O soul of me, drink, ere night falleth again! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE STUDY OF HAPPINESS by KENNETH KOCH SO MUCH HAPPINESS by NAOMI SHIHAB NYE CROWD CONDITIONS by JOHN ASHBERY I WILL NOT BE CLAIMED by MARVIN BELL THE BOOK OF THE DEAD MAN (#21): 1.
