“Unspent joy” refers to an unused potential for happiness, as seen in the poetic context of William Ernest Henley’s “Transience,” where it describes an overwhelming future happiness that would negate present sorrow. It can also be understood as a deep, lasting joy that is not limited by circumstances, especially in a religious sense, referring to an enduring joy rooted in faith and salvation that outlasts life on earth.
