THE INVISIBLE JESTER

Wherever you go I'm walking there

    Invisibly beside you;

You may not feel your tears I share

    But in their salt I hide you.

You know I quiz the skin you fold

    As if confounding matters;

I am, of course, because I'm told

    You're shredding into tatters.

Receive my jest and take the place

    I offer you tomorrow;

It isn't just my silly face

    That laughs you out of sorrow.
