    This poem by William Blake explores different types of smiles and frowns, including smiles of love and deceit. However, the most important smile is one that occurs between birth and death and ends all misery, suggesting it is either a genuine smile of happiness or perhaps a reference to death providing release from earthly suffering.

    The Smile

    BY WILLIAM BLAKE

    There is a Smile of Love And there is a Smile of Deceit And there is a Smile of Smiles In which these two Smiles meet And there is a Frown of Hate And there is a Frown of disdain And there is a Frown of Frowns Which you strive to forget in vain For it sticks in the Hearts deep Core And it sticks in the deep Back bone And no Smile that ever was smild But only one Smile alone That betwixt the Cradle & Grave It only once Smild can be But when it once is Smild Theres an end to all Misery
