SING IT

If you’ve a good song to be sung,--

A song of laughter or of rollicking cheer

To rouse to smiles this world so dark and drear,

A song that takes the grief from sorrow’s bitter cup

And turns the bloom of joy and pleasure up,--

Sing it!

If you’ve a good song to be sung,--

What matters how untuned your lyre may be,

What matters that it rings discordantly,

Only that your heart is welling o’er

With joyous strains that may fill out life’s score,--

Sing it!
