    Laugh, and the world laughs with you;
    Weep and you weep alone.
    For the sad old earth must borrow its mirth,
    But has trouble enough of its own.
    Sing and the hills will answer;
    Sight it is lost on the air.
    The echoes bound to a joyful sound,
    But shrink from voicing care.

    Rejoice and men will seek you;
    Grieve and they turn and go.
    They want full measure of all your pleasure,
    But they do not need your woe.
    Be glad and your friends are many;
    Be sad and you lose them all.
    There are none to decline your nectar wine,
    But alone you must drink life’s gall.


    Feast and your halls are crowded;
    Fast and the world go by.
    Succeed and give and it helps you live,
    But no man can help you die.

    There is room in the halls of pleasure
    For a long and lordly train,
    But one by one we must all file on
    Through the narrow aisles of pain.



    What do you think about?
