EASIER measure the mist on Malvern hills Than—never mind what, in the saying of dour Long Will's— Is it measureless, measureless mist on Malvern hills? But, oh, can you measure the sunshine on Malvern hills, The sunshine, the wonderful sunshine, on Malvern hills? Man, do you measure life by its joys or its ills? Judge by the mist or the sunshine upon the hills? Is it measureless mist or sunshine your heart that fills? The mist that will flee away with its mirk and its chills— Or the sunshine eternal of God's eternal hills? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TO NANNETTE FALK-AUERBACH by SIDNEY LANIER FRAGMENT ON DEATH by FRANCOIS VILLON COUNTING THE BEATS by ROBERT RANKE GRAVES UNMANIFEST DESTINY by RICHARD HOVEY CHILDREN by WALTER SAVAGE LANDOR |
