LAUGHTER and song for my cheer, Life is so fair. None so happy as I Anywhere; Birds in the woods carol clear, White clouds in the sky. Song silent and brow with a frown, Why is this so? Guiltless am I Would you know, The lark from the heavens drops down; Grey clouds in the sky. Sighing and tears for my sorrow, Life is so drear, None so weary as I, 'Tis a mere Waste of love, and a wish for to-morrow -- Black night in the sky. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BABY MAY by WILLIAM COX BENNETT THE MASTER'S TOUCH by HORATIO (HORATIUS) BONAR THE WHITE KNIGHT'S SONG by CHARLES LUTWIDGE DODGSON THE KING OF DENMARK'S RIDE by CAROLINE ELIZABETH SARAH SHERIDAN NORTON THE WIND SUFFERS by LAURA RIDING SONNET: TO SLEEP by WILLIAM WORDSWORTH RECOLLECTION by ANNE REEVE ALDRICH SONNET AGAINST THE DISPRAYSERS OF POETRIE by RICHARD BARNFIELD |
