Just as Easy by Ruth Collie

No harder to praise than to scorn, no harder to love than to hate; no / harder to sing than to mourn, as easy to act as to wait. No harder / to smile than to frown. It's as easy to stand as to lean, as easy to / lift as pull down, to be generous rather than mean. It's not very / hard to be glad, it's not very hard to rejoice, it's harder indeed to / be sad. Let happiness then be our choice. No harder to trust than / to doubt, and courage is easy as fear, and foes are quite easy to / rout with weapons of Good Sense and Cheer. No harder to sing than to / cry, as easy to do as to plan; no harder to laugh than to sigh, and / gulfs aren't to dread but to span. And giving is easier, too, than / withholding your hand from a friend; no harder to aid than to / rue -- and sweeter the day at the end.
