Paul Laurence Dunbar

Life

A crust of bread and a corner to sleep in,

A minute to smile and an hour to weep in,

A pint of joy to a peck of trouble,

And never a laugh but the moans come double:
And that is life!

A crust and a corner that love makes precious,

With the smile to warm and the tears to refresh us:

And joy seems sweeter when cares come after,

And a moan is the finest of foils for laughter:
And that is life!
