    Why Are You Unhappy

    Why are you unhappy?
    Because 99.9 per cent
    Of everything you think,
    And of everything you do,
    Is for yourself –
    And there isn’t one.

  • Snowfall

    By Sara Teasdale

    “She can’t be unhappy,” you said,
    “The smiles are like stars in her eyes,
    And her laughter is thistledown
    Around her low replies.”
    “Is she unhappy?” you said–
    But who has ever known
    Another’s heartbreak–
    All he can know is his own;
    And she seems hushed to me,
    As hushed as though
    Her heart were a hunter’s fire
    Smothered in snow.
