THEN LAUGH.
Build for yourself a strong box
Fashion each part with care;
When it's strong as your hand
can make it
Pt all your troubles there.
Hide there all thought of your
failures
And each bitter cup that you
quaff;
Lock all your heartaches with-
in it
Then sit on the lid and laugh.
i
Tell no ono else its contents
Never its &ecrots share ;
When you've dropped in your
care and worry
Keop them forever there.
Hide them from sight so com-
pletely That tho world will never
dream half;
Fasten tho strong box securely
Then sit on tho lid and laugh.
