if you are happy..


When you whirl,

your eye sees the room whirling, too.

If you sail in a ship over the sea,

it seems the seashore is running past.

If your heart is oppressed with struggle,

the whole atmosphere of the world feels tight;

but if you are happy as your friends would wish,

this world seems to be a garden of roses.
