LESSON 44 SMILES AND FROWNS
SMILES AND FROWNS
cheer-ful scat-ter dun-geon beau-ti-ful
I knew where the cheerful smiles were kept,
That make life bright and gay,
I'd open the lid of the golden box,
And scatter them on the way;
A smile should grace
Each happy face
For ever and ever and aye 〔1〕 !
I knew where the ugly frowns were hid,
That spoil our fun and glee 〔2〕 ,
I'd lock them deep in a dungeon 〔3〕 dark
And very soon lose the key;
Then no face could wear
A cloud of care,
And how beautiful that would be!
注释
〔1〕 aye: Always.
〔2〕 glee: Pleasure, joy.
〔3〕 dungeon: A close prison, commonly underground.
