The Call [All wantonly in hours of joy]

Title:     The Call [All wantonly in hours of joy]
Author: Ella Wheeler Wilcox [More Titles by Wilcox]

All wantonly in hours of joy,
I made a song of pain.
Soon Grief drew near, and paused to hear,
And sang the sad refrain,
Again and yet again.

Then recklessly in my despair,
I sang of hope one day.
And Joy turned back upon life's track,
And smiled, and came my way,
And sat her down to stay.

[The end]
Ella Wheeler Wilcox's poem: Call
