Edgar Guest - Under The Roof Where The Laughter RingsEdgar Guest - Under The Roof Where The Laughter Rings
Work rating: Low


Under the roof where the laughter rings,   That`s where I long to be; There are all of the glorious things,   Meaning so much to me. There is where striving and toiling ends; There is where always the rainbow bends. Under the roof where the children shout,   There is the perfect rest; There is the clamor of greed shut out,   Ended the ceaseless quest. Battles I fight through the heat of to-day Are only to add to their hours of play. Under the roof where the eyes are bright,   There I would build my fame; There my record of life I`d write;   There I would sign my name. There in laughter and true content Let me fashion my monument. Under the roof where the hearts are true,   There is my earthly goal; There I am pledged till my work is through,   Body and heart and soul. Think you that God will my choice condemn If I have never played false to them?
