“I'LL NOT CONFER WITH SORROW”
I'll not confer with Sorrow
Till to-morrow;
But Joy shall have her way
This very day.
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.
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.
Mirth and laughter;
Then, folded hands on breast
And endless rest.
