CARPE DIEM, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Do you say this happiness
Last Line: Merry, -- for my poor heart's sake.
Subject(s): Disease; Happiness; Hearts; Joy; Delight


DO you say this happiness
Is mere respite from disaster?
Ointment for some heart's distress
Sure to come in the hereafter?
Be it so. I choose to make
Merry, -- for my poor heart's sake.
