Joyful Sadness
If Hamlet had a mid-summer night’s dream
It would be a tragic error
A laughing Lady Macbeth would frivolous seem
And none would care to remember
Tragedy is more enjoyable than comedy
Said the good old rhymer
There is depth in tragedy
Believed the sombre writer
The purity of true love
Fascinating when tragic
Death is like a peaceful dove
Comedy is but fleeting magic
Most soulful are the songs that we sing in sadness
Comedy is nothing but a temporary madness
