Excerpt from Songs in Merry Mood
It Is To Laugh
Grant me, O Muse, the power to sing
The simpler songs of life,
To cheer the heart distressed, and bring
The soul away from strife,
To move humanity to quaff
The nectar of a childish laugh.
I ask not for the royal gift
Of epics sung to kings,
Nor yet the bristling mane to lift
By sounding martial strings -
'Twere cowardly to stand afar
And urge ones brothers on to war.
Nor yet the sorrowful refrain
That draws the glistening tear,
The rankling of some ancient pain,
The waking up of fear,
It were a churlish thing to do -
To give the sky a darker hue.
