All of our wrongs shall be righted After the war; None of our tasks will be slighted After the war; Women will all be gay, Children will sing and play, All our investments will pay After the war. Nothing at sixes and sevens After the war; All of our hells will be heavens After the war; Weary will get a rest, Misery will be blest, Worst will become the best After the war. What if, readier-hearted During the war, Some of these good things were started During the war? Wouldn't we multiply The chances that you and I Might be happy by and by, After the war? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...NOT ONE TO SPARE by ETHEL LYNN BEERS TWO RED ROSES ACROSS THE MOON by WILLIAM MORRIS (1834-1896) THE LOST CHORD by ADELAIDE ANNE PROCTER ARCADIA: SESTINA by PHILIP SIDNEY TO THE MEMORY OF THOMAS HOOD by BARTHOLOMEW SIMMONS ENGLAND AND HER COLONIES [OR, DOMINIONS] by WILLIAM WATSON |
