There is a smile of love There is a smile of deceit There is a smile of smiles In which these two smiles meet There is a frown of hate And there is a frown of frowns Which you strive to forget in vain
For it sticks in the hearts deep core And it sticks in the deep back bone And no smile that ever was smiled But only one smile alone
That betwixt the cradle and the grave There only one can be But when it once is smiled There's an end to all misery
