Edgar Albert Guest Happiness Poems

The roads of happiness are not
The selfish roads of pleasure seeking,
Where cheeks are flushed with haste and hot
...

To happiness I raise my glass,
The goal of every human,
The hope of every clan and class
And every man and woman.
...

If he sunbeams will not start you to rejoicing,
If the laughter of your babies you can hear
Without little songs of gladness gayly voicing,
If their dancing doesn't drive away your tear;
...
