This Good World

This world is good in which
we dwell; I like the blamed
thing mighty we'll, and l have
lived here long; as down my
long life path l 60 find eight
joys for every woe, nine rights
for every wrong. Oh, now and
then there comes a day when
everything seems grim and
gray and badly out of plumb ;
but calm reflection brings me
bliss-for every rotten day like
this, six happy days will come.
The optimist is one who knows
that joys outnumber human
woes when balances are struck ;
and SO, with sunshine in his
heart, he labors in the busy
mart, and nails the useful buck.
He does not worry DER the
grief that comes to him as a re-
lief when happiness grows
stale; no man could stand un-
changing bliss; a slice of grief
we soon would miss, if there
were none for sale. The pessi-
mist is one who'll mark a rec
ord of each day that's dark, its
minutes and its hours; and he'll
forget the cheerful days, when
all the landscape is ablaze with
sunshine and with flowers. He
thinks that there are nineteen
woes for every joy a mortal
knows, in which he's sadly
wrong; | know the good out
weighs the i'll, and knowledge
should my counsels fill, for l
have lived here long.
