Poem by Christopher Morley

Secret Laughter

"I had a secret laughter."

                         Walter de la Mare.


There is a secret laughter
That often comes to me,
And though I go about my work
As humble as can be,
There is no prince or prelate
    I envy—no, not one.
No evil can befall me—
    By God, I have a son!
