Happiness is a warmth on your face;
And it gives more than giving.
It's silent--like a whisper in your ear;
Have you ever heard it--humming?
When autumn leaves fall,
And, then, the wind blows--
Your presence is the gust of feeling;
And all does hope of the whirlwind--coming.
Should your ties to the heavens be bent,
And the world crumbled and become dazed,
--You cling to happiness--your mind's state;
And you know what--your life--meant.
