NO CARELESS MIND, by                 Poet Analysis    
First Line: A granted joy can make a careless mind
Last Line: A seed of light throw up a magic flower!
Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H.
Subject(s): Happiness; Joy; Delight


A granted joy can make a careless mind,
To take or leave at any hour I choose;
Yet every wind that blows has its own song,
And sings a music that I dare not lose;
While every tree that grows in field or wood
Has qualities that change, like flesh and blood.

The Sun comes out and like a dog am I,
That starts a scent that's new to him and strange,
And where it burns I follow till it dies;
The stars at night, whose beauty knows no change,
Still lead my hopes to see, at any hour,
A seed of light throw up a magic flower!
