Mh! The irony of joys
Horse riders rest on their hopping
In sunny days and cloudy nights.
Resting is the man within,
Heedless the tumults,
The irony of joys.
Oh! The irony of joys
To lowly men
Veils of light wake and die in their sleep
But wealthy workmen,
Float amidst fears and fatigue,
The irony of joys.
Well, the irony of joys
Rest is a string of health
One of the choral fives
Lovely for the guitar of life,
Jubilant its song, of wellness,
Wholeness! This irony of joys.
