EVERY sort of day together, Makes a year of every weather, Rainy days and clear days, warm days and cool, Holidays, vacation days and days to go to school, Winter days and summer days and days of spring and fall, To make the calendar, my dear, we have to take them all; Here's a pretty day for trying, here's a rainy day for working, But I cannot find a single day in all the year for shirking. There are days when we are very glad, And days when we are still and sad; But on all days, I find it good To do to others as I would Be done by—that's the way To Keep each passing day And so spend happy times together In sunny or in windy weather. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...IN THE TRENCHES by RICHARD ALDINGTON THE WAY OF THE CONVENTICLE OF THE TREES by HAYDEN CARRUTH THE HILL ABOVE THE MINE by MALCOLM COWLEY WISDOM COMETH WITH THE YEARS by COUNTEE CULLEN FAITH by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON THE GHOST OF DEACON BROWN by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON STUDY FOR A GEOGRAPHICAL TRAIL; 2.
