Complaint, against a dull day

I’ve had happier days than these.
Seen better sunsets, better seas —
tasted better wine in better places,
have grown accustomed to more pleasant faces.

And bad days? I’ve known worst —
have cried into the earth, and cursed.
Walked endless deserts, endless miles
to see Misery come my way — and smile.

So who are you, TODAY, to try to change my life?
What do you think you bring, what joy, what strife?
No, you come to neither hurt or please —
I’ve had much greater days than these.
