Invocation by Laughter

O, burst out laughing, laughers!
O, set your laughing, laughers!
You who laugh with laughter and you who laugh off laughably,
O, laugh away laughingly!
O, laughable laughing-stocks' – the laughter of laughsome laughers!
O, laugh-in enlaughingly, the laughter of outlaughing laughermen!
Laughterling, laughterling,
Uplaugh, downlaugh, laughterly, laughterly,
Laughterderry, laughterderry.
O, burst out laughing, laughers!
O, set your laughing, laughers!

<1908-1909>
