HOW WE DO LOVE TO WORK. 15 16 CHILDHOODS LAUGH. CHILDHOODS LAUGH. You may talk of the beautiful songsters that sing-Thro the soft hours of summer, and the bright days of spring;But theres nothing so sweet to my hearing, by half,As natures own music in childhoods light laugh. I sometimes have felt… … And just as I thought to give way to despairA ripple of laughter broke forth on the air. The laugh is contagious—the sweet little elf—And, before I quite know it, am laughing myself;This, the golden elixir of gladness, we quaff.For theres nothing so merry as childhoods light laugh.
