Misc.

Build for yourself a strong box.




Fashion each part with care,




When it is as strong as your hands can make it,




Put all your troubles there;




Hide there all thought of your failures,




And each bitter cup that you quaff;




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
