    I walked a mile with Pleasure,
    She chattered all the way;
    But left me none the wiser,
    For all she had to say.
    I walked a mile with Sorrow
    And ne'er a word said she;
    But, oh, the things I learned from her
    When Sorrow walked with me!

To Sorrow
I bade good-morrow,
And though to leave her far away behind;
But cheerly, cheerly,
She loves me dearly:
She is so constant to me, and so kind.
