Nothing but sorrow. Father have I none,
And no dear mother.

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.

I walked a mile with Pleasure,
She chattered all the way;
But left me none the wiser,
For all she had to say.

And ne'er a word said she;
But, oh, the things I learned from her
When Sorrow walked with me!

Its solitude, and nothing more diverts it
From its sad visions of the other world
Than calling it at moments back to this.
The busy have no time for tears.
