A minute to smile
and an hour to weep in.
A pint of joy to a peck of trouble,
And never a laugh
but the moans come double.
And that is life.
A crust and a corner that makes
love precious,
With a smile to warm and tears to refresh us,
And joy seems
sweeter when cares come after,
And a moan is the finest of foils for laughter.
And that is life.
Paul Laurence Dunbar
