    I have known sorrow--therefore I
    May laugh with you, O friend, more merrily
    Than those who never sorrowed upon earth
    And know not laughter's worth.

    May sorrow with you far more tenderly
    Than those who never guess how sad a thing
    Seems merriment to one heart's suffering.

When the green woods laugh with the voice of joy,
And the dimpling stream runs laughing by;
When the air does laugh with our merry wit,
