May laugh with you, O friend, more merrily

I have known sorrow--therefore I
May laugh with you, O friend, more merrily
Than those who never sorrowed upon earth
And know not laughter's worth.

Than those who never guess how sad a thing
Seems merriment to one heart's suffering.

And the dimpling stream runs laughing by;
When the air does laugh with our merry wit,
And the green hill laughs with the noise of it.
