FOOL'S PARADISE, by JOSEPHINE WINSLOW JOHNSONPoet's Biography
First Line: Fool's paradise,' I hear the wise ones say Last Line: I, though a fool, have dwelt in paradise!
"Fool's Paradise", I hear the wise ones say. Ah, but we do not put it that way -- We fools, who, sometimes wiser than the wise, With clearer vision read, "Fool's Paradise"!
You say we lose them? So was Eden lost! Who walks therein must ever pay the cost. Yet how shall wisdom better this, O wise? I, though a fool, have dwelt in Paradise!
