Laugh at me today, if you must,
This trial won't forever last.
I know, the whisper in my heart,
Tomorrow's air, a joy surpassed.
Laugh at me today, if you must.
In love's realm, life's endless keep,
This struggle, a balance we both sweep.
Neither in closeness, victory's gleam,
Nor in parting, defeat's deep sleep.
Laugh at me today, if you must.
Though a thousand affections may sting,
My purpose, a future it will bring.
If you dare to wound what is pure and right,
Life itself, a battle it will swing.
Laugh at me today, if you must,
This trial won't forever last.
Laugh at me today.
