I LOVE A SMILE.
I love a smile, a gentle smile,
That wreathes the lip in joy,
That indicates a merry heart,
Exempt from base alloy.
I love a smile, a careless smile,
To bear that burden; grief;
To penetrate the gloomy Heart,
And yield it quick relief.
I love a smile, a joyous smile,
Importing love is there;
Excluding thus the gloomy light
Of sorrow and despair.
I love a smile, a merry smile,
An emblem from above,
That plays around the nectared lips.
The light and life of love.
I love a smile, a pleasing smile,
Unclouded, free from care,
To light a gay and happy heart,
That joy may nestle there.
Boston.
