[Many times the morning laughs in light]

Many times the morning laughs in light
Underneath a cloudless ether bright;
And 'tis little thought what weeping dews
And thick rains fell heavy all the night.
Many times a cheerful mien is worn,
And men say, All tears are staunchëd quite,
Little guessing what has been erewhile
In the lonely chambers out of sight.
