IF you must sit and sigh, <br />And have the blues, <br />Why don't you try <br /> <br />To realize <br />That there are sighs and sighs, <br />And blues and blues, <br />From which to choose? <br /> <br />There's Heavenly blues, and blues of tranquil seas, <br />Both pleasant if you have them, pray have these ; <br />And when you sigh, be like the turtle-dove, <br />Who knows not grief, and merely sighs for love.<br /><br />John Kendrick Bangs<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-choice-12/
