Title:     "I'll Not Confer With Sorrow"
Author: Thomas Bailey Aldrich [More Titles by Aldrich]

I'll not confer with Sorrow
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.

Tears if you will--but after
Mirth and laughter;
Then, folded hands on breast
And endless rest.

[The end]
Thomas Bailey Aldrich's poem: "I'll Not Confer With Sorrow"
