All ye who walk in pleasant ways And lead an easy life, Apart from each days turmoil, with Its heartache and it's strife, May hold yourselves quite lucky, but The people most worth while Are those who brayely suffer pain And try to wear smile! All ye who bask in fortunes glow And never shed tear To whom the shadow shapes of grief Infrequently appear, Despite this fact, may feel the throb Of love and sympathy, But most of the worlds great tenderness Was born in misery.
