THEN LAUGH Build for yourself a strong-box, Fashion each part with care; When it’s strong as your hand can make it. Put all your troubles there; Hide there all thought of your failures And each bitter cup that you chaff; Lock all your heartaches within it, Then sit on the lid and laugh. Tell no one else its contents, Never its secrets share; When you’ve dropped in your care and worry Keep them forever there; Hide them from sight so completely That the world will never dream half; Fasten the strong-box securely— Then sit on the lid and laugh! —Bertha Adams Backus.
