Poems (Bass)/Laugh On

by Cora C. Bass

LAUGH ON.

Laugh on! happy heart,
For the sunshine part
 Is sweetest to play;
 It works in a way,
The acme of art.

With a merry start
Let it onward dart;
 Through the night, the day,
  Laugh on.

In the busy mart,
The worry and smart;
 Of living be gay
 And banish dismay;
Laugh on! happy heart,
   Laugh on.
