Poems with rhymes of laugh

Shaming a monstrous wrong. The world-wide laugh
Provoked thereby might well have shaken half

Your God, or mine? I’d make you laugh
Were I to tell you even half

He braved the gay and guileless laugh
Of children with their nusses,
The loud uneducated chaff

What fools we fogeys are! I'll try to laugh;
Falling in love, just from a photograph.

5 An' he opens the shed -- an' we all ist laugh
6 When he drives out our little old wobble-ly calf;

Their caresses were like the chaff
In the tempest, and be our laugh

The broad sun above laughed a pitiless laugh,
'Neath our feet broke the brittle bright stubble like chaff;

Thy strength upon me with a staff?'
Goliath said with scornful laugh.

The little wizened Spanish man he laughed a hideous laugh,
And from his cloak he quickly drew a faded photograph.

Æsop the Greek, who made dull masters laugh
With little tales of fox and dog and calf .

He has just done things by half.
Life's been a jolly good joke on him,
And now is the time to laugh.

But of his zest, his ringing laugh,
His trenchant scorn of praise or blame:
And so we graved his epitaph,

To ease away -- they have it. With a laugh,
An oath of towns that set the wild at naught
They bring the telephone and telegraph.

To-night I burn each photograph,
Each record of my former fame,
And oh, how bitterly I laugh

But the day's first client fails to laugh -
Fresh from a tiff from his better half.

Old birds are neither caught with salt nor chaff:
They watch you from the apple bough and laugh.

Is whispered brokenly, with half
A sob, like a belated laugh--,

A sleepy sound, but mocking half,
As of one who utterly couldn’t care.
The Demon arose from his wallow to laugh,

An' Uncle Abner Williams, a-leanin' on his staff,
It seems like I kin hear him talk, an' hear his hearty laugh.

There is no mid-forest laugh,
Where lone Echo gives the half
