WE ALL LAUGH, by                    
First Line: Some with the strange, sheer joy of it all
Last Line: I laugh to hide despair.
Subject(s): Contentment; Happiness; Laughter; Pleasure; Smiles; Joy; Delight


Some with the strange, sheer joy of it all;
Some with the chuckle of deep content;
Some with a heart that's free from care;
Some on reckless pleasure bent:

Some laugh at battle and duty's call;
Some laugh to banish care;
The cynic laughs with bitter scorn;
I laugh to hide despair.
