I wondered where the grief had gone That filled my heart on yesterday; I wondered where the sorrows went That made my soul so dull and gray, I asked the maid upon the street, She laughed with twinkling eyes; "Sorrows are but fleeing clouds We brush away with many sighs." I asked the urchin whom I met To tell me where all trouble went; He laughed and said, "Who wants to know? Not I. for I'm on pleasure bent." The old man and his matron gray Talked of the Joys of the days gone by And mentioned not their own son's death Nor the failure of their crop of rye. Eo I forgot that yesterday Of troubled soul and spirit gray And laughed with friends upon the street . Who, by chance, would walk my way. Franklin Lee Stevenson.
