WHO BEARS IN MIND, by                 Poet Analysis    
First Line: Who bears in mind misfortunes gone
Last Line: With temper calm and sweet.
Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H.


Who bears in mind misfortunes gone,
Must live in fear of more;
The happy man, whose heart is light,
Gives no such shadow power;
He bears in mind no haunting past
To start his week on Monday;
No graves are written on his mind,
To visit on a Sunday;
He lives his life by days, not years,
Each day's a life complete;
Which every morning finds renewed,
With temper calm and sweet.
