THE TOWN OF DON'T-YOU-WORRY, by I. J. BARTLETT First Line: There's a town called don't-you-worry Last Line: On the banks of river smile. | |||
THERE'S A TOWN called Don't-You-Worry, On the banks of River Smile; Where the Cheer-Up and Be-Happy Blossom sweetly all the while. Where the Never-Grumble flower Blooms beside the fragrant Try, And the Ne'er-Give-Up and Patience Point their faces to the sky. In the valley of Contentment, In the province of I-Will, You will find this lovely city, At the foot of No-Fret Hill. There are thoroughfares delightful In this very charming town, And on every hand are shade trees Named the Very-Seldom-Frown. Rustic benches quite enticing You'll find scattered here and there; And to each a vine is clinging Called the Frequent-Earnest-Prayer. Everybody there is happy And is singing all the while, In the town of Don't-You-Worry, On the banks of River Smile. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE SEA LOVER by SARA TEASDALE AN ODE ON THE UNVEILING OF THE SHAW MEMORIA BOSTON COMMON, MAY 31, 1897 by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH THIRD BOOK OF AIRS: SONG 17.
