Stevie Smith (20 September 1902 – 7 March 1971 / Kingston upon Hull)
Poems by Stevie Smith : 13 / 40
Happiness
Happiness is silent, or speaks equivocally for friends,
Grief is explicit and her song never ends,
Happiness is like England, and will not state a case,
Grief, like Guilt, rushes in and talks apace.
