And you walk in their odors sweet;
But give me your smile when the flowers liz

And the thorns prick your weary feet.
lis easy to smile when the birds sing cheer
And you bark to the ripping rill;
But give me your smile when the waters sigh

And you walk with a joyous heart;
But give me your smile when the whole
world frowhs;
Can you smile when the teardrops start?
