Solitude


laugh, and the world laughs with you; 
Weep, and you weep alone.
For the sad old earth must borrow it's mirth,
But has trouble enough of its own.
Sing, and the  hills will answer;
Sigh, it is lost on the air.
The echoes bound to a joyful sound,
But shrink from voicing care.
Rejoice, and men will seek you;
Grieve, and they turn and go.
They want full measure of all your pleasure,
But they do not need your woe.
Be glad, and your friends are many;
Be sad, and you lose them all.
There are none to decline your nectared wine,
But alone you must drink life's gall.
Feast, and your halls are crowded;
Fast, and the world goes by.
Succeed and give, and it helps you live,
But no man can help you die.
There is room in the halls of pleasure
For a long and lordly train,
But one by one we must all file on
Through the narrow aisles of pain.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox



The Arthur describes the outcome by seeking happiness in this poem.she wants to inspire people to be happy rather then being sad by saying that by being happy people will be attracted to you by which  your life a heaven and, when you are sad you repel people out of your boundary so that your whole life will become a disaster. she emphasis on being happy saying that even the  earth is borrowing happiness despite all the pain it has.
She relates peoples emotions with their life's fate. if you have positive emotions all the good deeds will come to you whereas, negative emotions will leave you in bitterness. she finishes the poem beautifully saying about how life's choice to be happy, as there is room for everyone in this world in the hall of pleasure which is a long journey for which everybody must cross the aisles of pain
