. SMILES AND FROWNS

If 'I knew the box where the smiles are kept, No matter how large the key, Or stro,ng the bolt, I would try so hard, ' 'Twould open, I know, for me. Then over the land and sea broadcast. I'd scatter the smiles to play, That the childrens faces might hold them fast, For many and many a day.

IfI knew the box that was large enough, To hold all the frowns I meet, I would like to gather them, every one, From nursery, school, and street; Then, folding, and holcling, I'd pack them in, By turning the monster key, Then I'd hire a giant to drop the box, In the depths of the deep, deep sea.
