Lyics

Never look sad; 
there's nothing so bad
As getting familiar with sorrow;
Treat Him today
in a cavalier way,
He'll seek other quarters tomorrow.


Do not then sigh,
but e'er turn your eye
To the bright side of every trial;
Fortune, you'll find, 
is often most kind, 
When chilling your hopes with denial.


Let the sad day
then carry away
Its own little burden of sorrow,
Or you may miss 
full half of the bliss
Which comes in the lap of tomorrow.
