We Are Not Always Glad When We Smile: Though We Wear A Fair Face And Are Gay, And The World We Deceive May Not Ever Believe We Could Laugh In A Happier Way. - Yet, Down In The Deeps Of The Soul, Ofttimes, With Our Faces Aglow, There'S An Ache And A Moan That We Know Of Alone, And As Only The Hopeless May Know. We Are Not Always Glad When We Smile, - For The Heart, In A Tempest Of Pain, May Live In The Guise Of A Smile In The Eyes As A Rainbow May Live In The Rain; And The Stormiest Night Of Our Woe May Hang Out A Radiant Star Whose Light In The Sky Of Despair Is A Lie As Black As The Thunder-Clouds Are. We Are Not Always Glad When We Smile! - But The Conscience Is Quick To Record, All The Sorrow And Sin We Are Hiding Within Is Plain In The Sight Of The Lord: And Ever, O Ever, Till Pride And Evasion Shall Cease To Defile The Sacred Recess Of The Soul, We Confess We Are Not Always Glad When We Smile.
