And 'st a meadow green and gay, a reared its head,
And o'er the sward around a glimpse of cheerfulness was spread;
'Twas like the merry laugh of life, when innocence is there,
'Twas like the smile of happiness, dispelling every care.
I love to see thee smile, my love, and Cheerfulness impart,
E'en like the modest daisy, to a doubting throbbing heart.
