A FIG FOR PAIN AND TROUBLE A fig for plain and trouble ic and a shrug for woe and care for we only make grief double when we sigh its load to bear there is many a fairy pleasure that we lay upon its bier and the bliss that we might treasure oft is hidden by a tear i A fig for haunting worry it is but a ghost at best A phantom born of hurry burry in the womb of lifes unrest for lips athirst theres nectar in the vats of heaven pressed for care is but a specter that a smite smile will lay at re rest st A fig for lifes distresses it if they ceaseless come they 56 go by the pit our footfall presses flowers bud and flowers blow there is not a ca cankered worry not a trouble skulking nigh but a smile will make it scurry and a laugh will bid it die
