ARE YOU ALMOST DISGUSTED with life, little man? I'll tell you a wonderful trick That will bring you contentment, if anything can, Do something for somebody, quick! Are you awfully tired with play, little girl? Wearied, discouraged, and sick -- I'll tell you the loveliest game in the world, Do something for somebody, quick! Though it rains, like the rain of the flood, little man, And the clouds are forbidding and thick, You can make the sun shine in your soul, little man, Do something for somebody, quick! Though the stars are like brass overhead, little girl, And the walks like a well-heated brick, And our earthly affairs in a terrible whirl, Do something for somebody, quick! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE MAN WITH THE WOODEN LEG by KATHERINE MANSFIELD THE ARCHITECT (1) by KAREN SWENSON THE TWO MYSTERIES by MARY ELIZABETH MAPES DODGE THE FIRE OF DRIFTWOOD; DEVEREUX FARM, NEAR MARBLEHEAD by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW OLIVER'S ADVICE by WILLIAM BLACKER |
