Lyrics of Love and Laughter

DIFFERENCES.

My neighbor lives on the hill,
And I in the valley dwell,
My neighbor must look down on me,
Must I look up? - ah, well,
My neighbor lives on the hill,
And I in the valley dwell.

My neighbor reads, and prays,
and I-I laugh, God wot,
And sing like a bird when the grass is green
In my small garden plot;
But ah, he reads and prays,
And I-I laugh, God wot.

His face is a book of woe,
And mine is a song of glee;
A slave he is to the great "They say,"
But I-I am bold and free;
No wonder he smack of woe,
And I have the tang of glee.
