A laugh is just like sunshine. It freshens all the day, It tips the peak of life with light, And drives the clouds away. The soul grows glad that hears it And feels its courage strong. A laugh is just like sunshine For cheering folks along. A laugh is just like music. It lingers in the heart, And where its melody is heard The ills of life depart; And happy thoughts come crowding Its joyful notes to greet: A laugh is just like music For making living sweet. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE WALKING MAN OF RODIN by CARL SANDBURG OF MY DEAR SON [GERVASE BEAUMONT] by JOHN BEAUMONT THE DOVE by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR HOMAGE TO THE BRITISH MUSEUM by WILLIAM EMPSON DOWN THE MISSISSIPPI: 5.
