DOUBT

If there would be no sorrow,
If there would be no sin
Along the ways of striving
That we must stumble in,
wonder if we'd find things
Just as We think they'd be:
A Pollyanna diet
Would never do for me.
If we were back in Eden
Without a single care,
If men were always noble,
If girls were always fair,
II wives would turn from naggine.
And husbands cease to curse.
Things might be whole lots better.
And yet-they might be worse

prohibition does not figure and is
