Smile is a pleasing expression Of a good and great heart That makes him or her Young and bold; It rubs down growing wrinkles Of sorrow and grief From aging, bloated faces Like the useless flakes of gold.
Just as a trusty touchstone That tests a stone To prove its worth intrinsic— Whether a gem or iron stark; A precious gem always glows Beautifying a bare body Or a lady's fingers Like a moon in the night's dark.
Smile! Smile! O sullen heart! For the smile is the reflection Of a kindred soul; Smile! Smile! Smile by heart By body, mind and spirit Smile only will make you whole.
