THE sky of brightest gray seems dark <br />To one whose sky was ever white. <br />To one who never knew a spark, <br />Thro' all his life, of love or light, <br />The grayest cloud seems over-bright. <br />The robin sounds a beggar's note <br />Where one the nightingale has heard, <br />But he for whom no silver throat <br />Its liquid music ever stirred, <br />Deems robin still the sweetest bird.<br /><br />Paul Laurence Dunbar<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/comparison-14/
