THE TWO MASKS by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH

Poet Analysis

First Line: I GAVE MY HEART ITS FREEDOM TO BE GAY
Last Line: WITH MORE OF LAUGHTER IN MY SCRIP THAN TEARS.
Subject(s): CONDUCT OF LIFE;
I gave my heart its freedom to be gay
Or grave at will, when life was in its May;
So I have gone, a pilgrim through the years,
With more of laughter in my scrip than tears.
