Oh, Why Not Be Happy?[1]
("A quoi bon entendre les oiseaux?") [RUY BLAS, Act II.] Oh, why not be happy this bright summer day, 'Mid perfume of roses and newly-mown hay? Great Nature is smiling - the birds in the air Sing love-lays together, and all is most fair. Then why not be happy This bright summer day, 'Mid perfume of roses And newly-mown hay? The streamlets they wander through meadows so fleet, Their music enticing fond lovers to meet; The violets are blooming and nestling their heads In richest profusion on moss-coated beds. Then why not be happy This bright summer day, When Nature is fairest And all is so gay? LEOPOLD WRAY.
