"Together" A poem by Carrie Williams Clifford

O, come, Love, let us take a walk,
Down the Way-of-Life together;
Storms may come, but what care we,
If be fair or foul the weather.
When the sky overhead is blue,
Balmy, scented winds will after
Us, adown the valley blow
Haunting echoes of our laughter
When Life's storms upon us beat
Crushing us with fury, after
All is done, there'll ringing come
Mocking echoes of our laughter.
So we'll walk the Way-of-Life,
You and I, Love, both together,
Storm or sunshine, happy we
If be foul or fair the weather.

The speaker’s comments in lines 15-16 emphasize an optimistic outlook by expressing the belief that regardless of the circumstances—whether facing storms or enjoying sunshine—their shared journey will bring happiness. This reflects a steadfast commitment to finding joy and togetherness despite life's challenges. The repetition of "together" reinforces the idea that their bond will prevail over any difficulties, creating a hopeful perspective on the ups and downs of life.
