First Line: Now shall I walk
Last Line: But joy kissed me.
Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H.
Now shall I walk,
Or shall I ride?
'Ride,' Pleasure said;
'Walk,' Joy replied.
Now what shall I --
Stay home or roam?
'Roam,' Pleasure said;
And Joy -- 'Stay home.'
Now shall I dance,
Or sit for dreams?
'Sit,' answers Joy;
'Dance,' Pleasure screams.
Which of ye two
Will kindest be?
Pleasure laughed sweet,
But Joy kissed me.
