Long years I sought, without success
The key to the house of happiness.
I thought this key should be the same
As keys which open doors of fame
And wealth and power. I tried each but
The door of happiness stayed shut.

As years rolled by I tried again
With other keys; but tried in vain.
At last I found the only key
Which worked.  It is called charity.
And this key opens wide the door
Of happiness, now and evermore.
