“We look before and after, And pine for what is not: Our sincerest laughter With some pain is fraught; Our sweetest songs are those that tell Of saddest thought. Yet if we could scorn Hate, and pride, and fear; If we were things born Not to shed a tear, I know not how thy joy we ever Should come near.” InspirationalLife LessonsLongingShelleyTo A Skylark Book:The Skylark and Adonais - With Other Poems Source: The Skylark and Adonais - With Other Poems
