Sandburg is simply saying: Happeness is relative. The Hungarians were just
one example.

Happiness
I think what Sandburg is really trying to say is that one cannot truly be
happy unless one takes accordion lessons.

I believe that this poem should be read through a lens of an American
experiencing a brand new ethnicity like Hungarians into the stew known as
America. I know the pride I see in my Grandparents faces that have
immigrated to this nation when they BBQ with their families and revel in
the accomplishments of everyone. Hungarians being new immigrants to this
country when this poem was written were still achieving their goals and
happy for every minute of that struggle, through their acculturation and
assimilation into American society. Look at any new immigrant to America
and tell me there isn't a thankfulness and happiness about them.

happiness must not be asked to anyone cause it is a personal experience. in
the poem, carl sandburg is trying to find answers of what happiness is, but
in the end, he himself answered his own question.=)

I read the poem Happiness and I recite it in the class. The poem expresses
that Hapiness is gained through contentment.

I don't work at "showing my ignorance." Like everyone else here, I
expressed an opinion, and if you think I am ignorant, please explain why
you think so. We are all ignorant on something or other, and are not in
that condition deliberately. If you are so smart (i.e., non-ignorant),
show me why I should believe you.
