THERE'S A TOWN called Don't-You-Worry, On the banks of River Smile; Where the Cheer-Up and Be-Happy Blossom sweetly all the while. Where the Never-Grumble flower Blooms beside the fragrant Try, And the Ne'er-Give-Up and Patience Point their faces to the sky. In the valley of Contentment, In the province of I-Will, You will find this lovely city, At the foot of No-Fret Hill. There are thoroughfares delightful In this very charming town, And on every hand are shade trees Named the Very-Seldom-Frown. Rustic benches quite enticing You'll find scattered here and there; And to each a vine is clinging Called the Frequent-Earnest-Prayer. Everybody there is happy And is singing all the while, In the town of Don't-You-Worry, On the banks of River Smile. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TO HORACE BUMSTEAD by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON THE SPELLIN' BEE by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR MODERN LOVE: 34 by GEORGE MEREDITH ASTROPHEL AND STELLA: 72 by PHILIP SIDNEY WORLD-MILLER by FRANCES BARBER THE LOVE OF DECEIT by CHARLES BAUDELAIRE THE OLD GHOST by THOMAS LOVELL BEDDOES |
