Show The Life Ledger. <br><br> Our sufferings we reckon o'er With skill minute and formal; The cheerful ease that ??? the score We treat as merely normal. Our list of ills how full, how great! We mourn our lot should fall so. I wonder, do we calculate Our happinesses also? <br><br> Were it not best to keep account Of all days, if of any? Perhaps the dark ones might amount To not so very many. Men's looks are nigh as often gay As sad, or even solemn; Behold my entry for to-day Is in the "happy column." |
