Who bears in mind misfortunes gone,
   Must live in fear of more;
The happy man, whose heart is light,
   Gives no such shadow power;
He bears in mind no haunting past
   To start his week on Monday;
No graves are written on his mind,
   To visit on a Sunday;
He lives his life by days, not years,
   Each day's a life complete;
Which every morning finds renewed,
   With temper calm and sweet.
