Laugh and play all the day: Don't you think with me When I say that's the way If you'd happy be?
Maid and lad, if we had Never time for song, Always sad, never glad, Days would seem so long!
Tear and sigh make the sky Dark and sad and grey; Never cry—only try Just to laugh and play.
Faces bright make sunlight All the merry day; Frowns they fright out of sight—
So we'll laugh and play.
