A Poem

Another one from Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

What seems like an admonition - "Just cheer up and everything is peachy" - turns out to be a kind of an ironic lament.


Really glad to have been turned on to Ms Wilcox. I stumbled across her work when I went in search of a quote misattributed to Abe Lincoln.
