If you're up against a problem And the world's not going right, If you've racked your brain to solve it And the end's not yet in sight, You surely need a counselor To help you in your fight. -- Ask a woman. When your life becomes a burden And you're longing for a friend, And the job that you have tackled Seems though 'twill never end, Don't forget there's someone near you Whose thoughts with yours will blend; -- 'Tis a woman. If your heart is filled with sadness And has been for many a day, And the gloom that's settled o'er you, (Will it never pass away?) See how quickly all will vanish If the right one has a say; -- 'Tis a woman. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE MEASURE OF THE YEAR by JAMES GALVIN WRITTEN IN EMERSON'S ESSAYS by MATTHEW ARNOLD SONG: WOO'D AND MARRIED AND A' by JOANNA BAILLIE IN JANUARY by GORDON BOTTOMLEY VISIONS: 5 by WILLIAM BROWNE (1591-1643) SONNETS FROM THE PORTUGUESE: 43 by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING |
