Ah, happiness courts the light, so we deem the world is gay, but misery hides aloof, so we deem that misery there is none.

Ah, happiness courts the light, so we deem the world is gay, but misery hides aloof, so we deem that misery there is none.

Ah, happiness courts the light, so we deem the world is gay, but misery hides aloof, so we deem that misery there is none.

Ah, happiness courts the light, so we deem the world is gay, but misery hides aloof, so we deem that misery there is none.
