Victor Hugo - Oh, Why Not Be Happy?Victor Hugo - Oh, Why Not Be Happy?
Work rating: Low


[RUY BLAS, Act II.] Oh, why not be happy this bright summer day, `Mid perfume of roses and newly-mown hay? Great Nature is smiling--the birds in the air Sing love-lays together, and all is most fair.           Then why not be happy             This bright summer day,           `Mid perfume of roses             And newly-mown hay? The streamlets they wander through meadows so fleet, Their music enticing fond lovers to meet; The violets are blooming and nestling their heads In richest profusion on moss-coated beds.           Then why not be happy             This bright summer day,           When Nature is fairest             And all is so gay?
