Cheerfulness Poems

WHEN by my solitary hearth I sit,
And hateful thoughts enwrap my soul in gloom;
When no fair dreams before my "mind's eye" flit,
And the bare heath of life presents no bloom;
...

No sun - no moon!
No morn - no noon -
No dawn - no dusk - no proper time of day.
No warmth, no cheerfulness, no healthful ease,
...

I will confess
With cheerfulness,
Love is a thing so likes me,
That, let her lay
...

No sun--no moon!
No morn--no noon!
No dawn--no dusk--no proper time of day--
No sky--no earthly view--
...

Cleanliness! Cleanliness! Cleanliness!
Cleanliness ever gives you happiness! happiness! happiness!
For cleanliness is next to Godliness! Godliness! Godliness!

MOTLEY I count the only wear
That suits, in this mixed world, the truly wise,
Who boldly smile upon despair
And shake their bells in Grandam Grundy's eyes.
...

From brightening fields of ether fair disclosed,
Child of the Sun, refulgent Summer comes,
In pride of youth, and felt through Nature's depth:
...

WHEN first I came here I had hope,
Hope for I knew not what. Fast beat
My heart at the sight of the tall slope
Or grass and yews, as if my feet
...

Once upon a wedding day
A couple joined in a close association
with hopes of love and good fortune to stay
That brought a state of euphoria to them
...

I think we are too ready with complaint
In this fair world of God's. Had we no hope
Indeed beyond the zenith and the slope
Of yon gray blank of sky, we might grow faint
...

Coldly, sadly descends
The autumn-evening. The field
Strewn with its dank yellow drifts
Of wither'd leaves, and the elms,
...

BOOK I

Tell me, O muse, of that ingenious hero who travelled far and wide
...

"Do you give thanks for this? -- or that?"
No, God be thanked
I am not grateful
In that cold, calculating way, with blessing ranked
...

There had been phantoms, pale-remembered shapes
Of this and this occasion, sisterly
In their resemblances, each effigy
Crowned with the same bright hair above the nape's
White rounded firmness, and each body alert
With such swift loveliness, that very rest
Seemed a poised movement: ... phantoms that impressed
But a faint influence and could bless or hurt
No more than dreams. And these ghost things were she;
For formless still, without identity,
Not one she seemed, not clear, but many and dim.
One face among the legions of the street,
Indifferent mystery, she was for him
Something still uncreated, incomplete.

HOME AT GRASMERE

ONCE to the verge of yon steep barrier came
A roving school-boy; what the adventurer's age

According to Culture Shock:
A Guide to Customs and Etiquette
of Filipinos, when my husband says yes,
he could also mean one of the following:

I
The coast-road was being straightened and repaired again,
A group of men labored at the steep curve
...

WHAT sounds are those, Helvellyn, that are heard
Up to thy summit, through the depth of air
Ascending, as if distance had the power
...

The God of Love-'ah, benedicite!'
How mighty and how great a Lord is he!
...

Do the Math, use a pen,
Take your time read this well,
You will see why you should consider me.
...

Spring rain expressed under the trees in drops
The power of spring allures every mind
Raindrops whisper sweet words of love
In the meadows, birds are singing songs of cheerfulness
...

That these beautiful smiles
Will ever be here to stay,
That these lovely bright eyes
Will never grow dim with pain,
...

A daisy-faced sky. Of all
Re-awoke freshness
The most trustful lit, so leant
In its cheerfulness.

People of high place love ruling the country on negative or positive a side covetously, businessmen love being a rich on negative or positive side covetously, poor people love being a rich on negative or positive a side covetously, vehicle owner loves being a rich on negative or positive a side covetously, vegetable seller love being a rich on negative or positive a side covetously, fruit seller love being a rich on negative or positive a side covetously, milkmen love seller being a rich on negative or positive side close-fisted.

Nothing can last for good, malice is caught never letting go feelings are hurt but behind every arable there is a reason, the bogey on the wall is growing dark and long, we all ears the echo swell and come off, the creole harsher a drastic, big Crocodiles just don't care about the nation in fright, heart pounds in both ears, hearing kids cry, we try to soothe their tears sitting as one in frozen coincidence, praying to last the pain and fight, when sunlight glows, a tiny edge leads us safe for good.

Your joy is fading day by day
After so long I've known you, your jokes have disappeared as you mature
The joke, the greeting that you always say seems to disappear
You don't know me anymore
...

The birds sing with lyrical affluence,
The butterflies dance in thrilling indulgence,
The breeze whistles in frisky cheerfulness,
The spring rejoices in her own opulence!
...

My life is messy, My life is untidy
But I am comfortable in my world
It's not my atypical routine
It's not my uncharacteristic being
...

And come not, my bright lost infinite deep heart;
Do not wake up a broken dream again in your wilderness, dream
Look at the beauty and the silvery words of the woodland;
Where there is so much more awakening than fascination, it is useless the sound of a murmur, in the fullness of all the emotions,
...

Cheerfulness! !

Mystical love!
...

Confidence, the determinant of health
the triggering agent
for living life king size
embedded in it the spark of action
