Build for yourself a strong
box,
Fashion each part with care;
Put all your troubles there;
Hide there all thought of
your failures,
And each bitter cup that
you quaff;
Lock all your heartaches
within it,
Then sit on the lid and
laugh.
Tell no one else its contents,
Never its secrets share;
When you''ve dropped in
your care and worry
Keep them forever there;
Hide them from sight so
completely
That the world will never
dream half;
Fasten the strong box securely
-
Then sit on the lid and
laugh.
