MY HAPPINESS, by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: I hear you singing happily Last Line: Like the falling of a leaf. Alternate Author Name(s): Tremaine, John Subject(s): Happiness; Joy; Delight | |||
What is happiness to me? Fragile, tiny, furtive things, Gossamers, with fairy wings Held with my heart a breath, Just a memory, until death. What is happiness, who knows? Whence it comes and where it goes, Just a whispering, so brief, Like the falling of a leaf. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE STUDY OF HAPPINESS by KENNETH KOCH SO MUCH HAPPINESS by NAOMI SHIHAB NYE CROWD CONDITIONS by JOHN ASHBERY I WILL NOT BE CLAIMED by MARVIN BELL THE BOOK OF THE DEAD MAN (#21): 1.
