Along the Road - I Walked a Mile with Pleasure

Along the Road

I walked a mile with Pleasure;

She chatted all the way;

But left me none the wiser

For all she had to say.

I walked a mile with Sorrow,

And ne’er a word said she;

But, oh! The things I learned from her,

When sorrow walked with me.

-Robert Browning Hamilton
