I wonder if happiness Can be found at any place Or, were you to come to me now, If we could laugh as happily As we did then Beside that fetid stream, Beneath that age-scarred tree! I think it is you whom I need to make my laughters true and filled with music. Yet I wonder ... Was it you Who gave me that magic day? Or was it a fetid stream? Or was it an age-scarred tree? | 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.
