That play'd on her ripe lip, seem'd not to know
What guests were in her eyes; which parted thence,
As pearls from diamonds dropp'd.

A tender smile, our sorrows' only balm.
EDWARD YOUNG
Love of Fame
I've squandered smiles today,
And, strange to say,
Altho' my frowns with care I've stowed away,
Tonight I'm poorer far in frowns than at the start;
While in my heart,
Wherein my treasures best I store,
I find my smiles increased by several score.

Smile the smile that takes away the rain
Smile away my total emptiness
For I never wanna have to cry again

And smile, smile, smile.
Don't let your joy and laughter hear the snag
Smile boys, that's the style
