A Song of Happiness

Muna Lee

SO many folk are happy folk—

The feathered folk and furred!

And many a kindly glance I’ve had

And many a brisk bright word

From squirrel and from gray fieldmouse,

From cardinal and blackbird.

It’s only folk within the wood

Can know my happiness.

I did not tell my secret, but

I heard the robins guess;

The golden minnow knows it

Beneath the water-cress.
