The Plaint Human

Author: James Whitcomb Riley [More Titles by Riley]

Season of snows, and season of flowers,
Seasons of loss and gain!--
Since grief and joy must alike be ours,
Why do we still complain?

Ever our failing, from sun to sun,
O my intolerant brother--
We want just a little too little of one,
And much too much of the other.

[The end]
James Whitcomb Riley's poem: Plaint Human
