I'LL NOT CONFER WITH SORROW by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH

Poet Analysis


I 'll not confer with Sorrow
Till to-morrow
But Joy shall have her way
This very day


Ho, eglantine and cresses
For her tresses! -
Let Care, the beggar, wait
Outside the gate.


Tears if you will -but after
Mirth and laughter
Then, folded hands on breast
And endless rest.
