Gay ~ [in this poem it means] happy, joyful, merry
THE MINSTREL BOY
When the ladies in their gowns so elegant and so gay
Ask the men in their suits ever dashing to lead the way
To a room of sparkling wine glasses and music flowing round
Then only can he be appreciated for offering his gift
Of the grace in the sound.
Without it it seems their noble clothes are mere rags all torn
Until he weaves upon his instruments for them
A story of kings in love with queens
Then only the finest cloth shall be worn.
So when he is done dressing them in his gift
He leaves them for a home of those more humble than of bearing wealth.
So my beloved, whenever you feel such gifts
Which please you and bring you joy
Remember to give back in return
For the person could be sacrificing for you his own fortune.
It is not the women who put on immediately gowns so elegant-
Nor the men who put on the suits ever dashing to lead the way.
It is only when with just a story and upon his instruments for them he’d play.

They say that we should be grateful for the things in everyday life and we should have gratitude for those who make these things happen

"I ain't happy, I'm feeling sad
I've got sunshine in a bag
I'm useless-but not for long;
My future is coming on."
