OUR life is full of sighing, Our life, which is so brief; We cloud the moments flying, With trouble, pain, and grief. Still looking to the morrow, We disregard to-day, And ever trouble borrow, As life speeds fast away. And yet, nor grief, nor sadness, Composes all our lot, Woe mingles still with gladness, Though oft we see it not. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SONNETS FROM THE PORTUGUESE: 22 by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING THE MASK by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING A FOREST HYMN by WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT ON THE DEATH OF MRS.
