Think not I'nn Happy.

Tnink not because the face may wear
A cheerful, sunny smile,
Dispensing Joy around with care,
The heart is gay the while.
Think not because that mirthful words
Drop free from mirthful lips,
The soul is free from gloomy thoughts,
From dark despair eclipsed.
For, Oh that smile may hide a tear
That's gathering in the eye; -.
That merry laugh so full of mirth ....
May drown smothered sigh. ...
0tever think in pleasures crowd
The widest one that's there,
Z Whose merry laugh and mirthful look
May be an antidote to care,
Hath care like worm unseen
That feeds upon the roses bloom,
And blight a canker in the heart
Where all within s gloom.
