A SONG

By Edgar Albert Guest

None knows the day that friends must part

None knows how near is sorrow;

If there be laughter in your heart,

Do n't hold it for to-morrow.

Smile all the smiles you can to-day;

Grief waits for all along the way.

To-day is ours for joy and mirth;

We may be sad to-morrow;

Then let us sing for all we've worth,

Nor give a thought to sorrow.

None knows what lies along the way;

Let's smile what smiles we can to-day.
