But the man worth while is the one who can smile
When everything goes dead wrong.

For the test of the heart is trouble
And it always comes with years.
And the smile that is worth the praises of earth
Is the smile that shines through the tears.

That I may puff to sooth my soul.
For it is sure to clear my brain,
And bring old memories back again!

Until we’ve learned to smile.

And all of their loves are sad.

To lay on his coffin after he’s dead.
