Transcribed from the 1914 Gay and Hancock edition by David Price "Poems of Cheer" by Ella Wheeler Wilcox is a collection of poetry written during the early 20th century, which reflects the sentiments and themes of that time. The poems convey messages of hope, joy, and resilience, addressing the complexities of human emotion and experience. The collection is intended to uplift and encourage readers through insights on life, love, and personal growth. The opening of the collection introduces the reader to the thematic essence of joy and endurance through life's trials. Ella Wheeler Wilcox explores the dualities of existence, such as hope versus despair, and the transformative power of grief and love. She begins with a poem that sets the stage for the forthcoming verses, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a positive outlook even amidst adversity. Through vivid imagery and emotive language, she invites readers to reflect on their personal journeys and find solace in the shared experiences of struggle and triumph. This opening portion establishes a tone of introspection and celebrates the beauty of life, laying the groundwork for the remaining poems in the collection.
