HAPPINESS, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: A month ago I was happy! No
Last Line: That never comes.
Alternate Author Name(s): Cornwall, Barry; Proctor, Bryan Waller
Subject(s): Happiness; Joy; Delight


A MONTH ago I was happy! No,
Not happy, yet encircled by deep joy,
Which, though 'twas all around, I could not touch
But it was ever thus with Happiness:
It is the gay to-morrow of the mind
That never comes.
