Optimist's Song

Give us a smile for smiling's sake: ; Where is the gain m sorrow? . . Though the skies are grey. and a-storm to-day The sun must shine To-morrow. ■ ' ■■ ' ).'■■ -■■■.. Where is the thing, m the wide, wide world That's worth the pang of a tear-drop? Oh, make daisy chains of your aches and pains And. wear your woe ft f or an ear-drop! Joy is the string where Life's song's played. Worry is just bad keying; And the birds that sing m the joyous Spring Are- — heark to 'em all agreeing. Frowns never yet caused light m life A single scowl can destroy it; Smile with the sun! Here's to Life's fun And the soul young enough to enjoy it! r-CH.O.
