I wrote down my troubles every day;
And after a few short years,
When I turned to the heart-aches passed away,
I read them with smiles, not tears.
I am busy working to bring John Boyle O'Reilly's "My Troubles" to life through some unique musical arrangements and will have a full analysis of the poem here for you later.
In the meantime, I invite you to explore the poem's themes, structure, and meaning. You can also check out the gallery for other musical arrangements or learn more about John Boyle O'Reilly's life and contributions to literature.
Check back soon to experience how "My Troubles" transforms when verse meets melody—a unique journey that makes poetry accessible, engaging, and profoundly moving in new ways.
