"I'll Not Confer with Sorrow"
The Sisters' Tragedy
I'll not confer with Sorrow
Till
to-morrow;
But Joy shall have her way
This very day.
Ho, eglantine and cresses
For her
tresses!--
Let Care, the beggar, wait
Outside the gate.
Tears if you will--but after
Mirth and
laughter;
Then, folded hands on breast
And endless rest.
