The Smile Poem by William Blake
The Smile
There is a Smile of Love
And there is a Smile of Deceit
And there is a Smile of Smiles
In which these two Smiles meet
And there is a Frown of Hate
And there is a Frown of disdain
And there is a Frown of Frowns
Which you strive to forget in vain
For it sticks in the Hearts deep Core
And it sticks in the deep Back bone
And no Smile that ever was smild
But only one Smile alone
That betwixt the Cradle & Grave
It only once Smild can be
But when it once is Smild
Theres an end to all Misery
You smile and the world smiles too You cry the saddest moan you shall find it's only you...... Congrats for being chosen.....
Superb identification of different types of smiles and frowns along with the meaning and intent to which they point out. Thanks for sharing it here.
That betwixt the Cradle & Grave It only once Smild can be But when it once is Smild Theres an end to all Misery ~~~ BEAUTIFUL
I am impressed by the First Line, since Love is my theme in poems
I cite the last stanza: That betwixt the Cradle & Grave It only once Smild can be But when it once is Smild Theres an end to all Misery. YES! Either life with no misery or the grave, absolutely very smart poem. The Circle is round
