(1) Left and right and swing around! Soar and dip and fall for glee! Happy sky, and bird, and ground! Happy wind, and happy tree! Happy minions, dancing mad! Joy is guide enough for you; Cure the world of good and bad; And teach us innocence anew! (2) Good and bad and right and wrong! Wave the silly words away! This is wisdom -- to be strong! This is virtue -- to be gay! Let us sing and dance, until We shall know the final art; How to banish good and ill With the laughter of the heart! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...WILLIE BREW'D A PECK O' MAUT by ROBERT BURNS GROWING GRAY by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON CUPID MISTAKEN by MATTHEW PRIOR AN HYMN OF HEAVENLY BEAUTY by EDMUND SPENSER THE WEAVER'S APPRENTICE by AL-RUSAFI |
