FOOL'S PARADISE, by JOSEPHINE WINSLOW JOHNSON Poet's Biography First Line: Fool's paradise,' I hear the wise ones say Last Line: I, though a fool, have dwelt in paradise! | |||
"Fool's Paradise", I hear the wise ones say. Ah, but we do not put it that way -- We fools, who, sometimes wiser than the wise, With clearer vision read, "Fool's Paradise"! You say we lose them? So was Eden lost! Who walks therein must ever pay the cost. Yet how shall wisdom better this, O wise? I, though a fool, have dwelt in Paradise! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...JULY by JOSEPHINE WINSLOW JOHNSON NOT A GREEN WILLOW by JOSEPHINE WINSLOW JOHNSON REBELLION by JOSEPHINE WINSLOW JOHNSON SCENTS by JOSEPHINE WINSLOW JOHNSON THE LEVEL WAY by JOSEPHINE WINSLOW JOHNSON THE UNWILLING GYPSY by JOSEPHINE WINSLOW JOHNSON ...AND NO BELL RINGS by JOSEPHINE WINSLOW JOHNSON APOSTROPHE TO TRUTH by JOSEPHINE WINSLOW JOHNSON PRIDE by JOSEPHINE WINSLOW JOHNSON UNDER THE SOUND OF VOICES by JOSEPHINE WINSLOW JOHNSON THE WANDERER: 2.
