Excerpt from Wayside Flower: And Other Poems Happiness is a. Wayside flower, growing on the high road to usefulness. N eeling there in silent anguish, all her frame convulsed with grief, Gaze we with a tender pity, where we can not bring relief. Scarcely turned of fourteen summers - less of woman than of child Old in sorrow she must needs be, to have learned a look so wild. Not in youth can one great trouble sadden thus the mobile face, Many and persistent trials there have been to leave such trace. O, God! She cries, In mercy hear me! Why should life be dark like this, When my own heart tells me daily that the world is full of bliss! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
