Carl Sandburg

HAPPINESS

I ASKED the professors who
        teach the meaning of life to tell
        me what is happiness.
And I went to famous executives who
        boss the work of
        thousands of men.
They all shook their heads and gave me a smile
        as though I was trying
        to fool with them
And then one Sunday afternoon
        I wandered out
        along the Desplaines river
And I saw a crowd of Hungarians
        under the trees with their women
        and children and a keg of beer
        and an accordion.
