As they all broke out in laughter Did he swear to come for them, thereafter; And they all laughed even harder At his dark and saddened face. So, disgracefully he disappeared And as the next night ever neared He set out, his gaze quite leer Well-prepared and without fear. Though they laughed at him once more They could not laugh quite as before And they all laughed even less Being faced with his success. Thus he dreamed, at least, While he raged on, as a beast; "Lighten up", said then the priest, "'Tis but a joke, played out always at our feast."

Laughter
As they all broke out in laughter Did he swear to come for them, thereafter; And they all laughed even harder At his dark and saddened face. So, disgracefully he disappeared And as the next night ever neared He set out, his gaze quite leer Well-prepared and without fear. Though they laughed at him once more They could not laugh quite as before And they all laughed even less Being faced with his success. Thus he dreamed, at least, While he raged on, as a beast; "Lighten up", said then the priest, "'Tis but a joke, played out always at our feast."
