Francis Thompson - EnvoyFrancis Thompson - Envoy
Work rating: Low


Go, songs, for ended is our brief, sweet play;   Go, children of swift joy and tardy sorrow: And some are sung, and that was yesterday,   And some unsung, and that may be to-morrow. Go forth; and if it be o`er stony way,   Old joy can lend what newer grief must borrow: And it was sweet, and that was yesterday,   And sweet is sweet, though purchas-ed with sorrow. Go, songs, and come not back from your far way:   And if men ask you why ye smile and sorrow, Tell them ye grieve, for your hearts know To-day,   Tell them ye smile, for your eyes know To-morrow.
