When folded is the showman’s tent;
That she who pathos renders best
Has loudest laugh in merriment.
Thus, vice versa is the theme,
Or, “all things are not what they seem.”
Sadness to Joy is as a twin,
One rules without, one rules within.
My life is full of love and joy,
My heart-strings, though, with sadness tuned.
Then do not ask me to destroy
