You think that all the world is fair; (It's better all the time!) You live in bliss, you walk on air; (It's better all the time!) You're eating manna from on high; There's not a cloudlet in your sky; But there's a better by and by: It's better ALL the time! Sometimes you own to half a doubt (There comes a doubting time) If married rapture will hold out Through all the coming time. But let a veteran banish fear: Love never knows a waning year; When lives are knit and hearts are dear, It's better ALL the time! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ABOVE AND WITHIN by DAVID IGNATOW STREET-CRIES: 2.
