Here you will find the Poem I'll Not Confer With Sorrow of poet Thomas Bailey Aldrich

I'll Not Confer With Sorrow

I'll not confer with Sorrow 
Till to-morrow; 
But Joy shall have her way 
This very day.

Ho, eglantine and cresses 
For her tresses!-- 
Let Care, the beggar, wait 
Outside the gate.

Tears if you will--but after 
Mirth and laughter; 
Then, folded hands on breast 
And endless rest.
