Or+the+passing+of+time.

I think that this poem has a couple higher purposes. One of them is to relax you and tell you what you what you should do when your over worked. The author is explaining to you how to relax how you can be happy. In the poem he keeps going over the most relaxing things, the author also says "Sadness, despair, I don't care to share". you also have to have a good attitude to be happy. Overall I think that this poem is telling you about happiness and what to do to get happy.
