How to get to the happiness,
Driving at right or left,
Planning at North or South,
Searching or waiting yet?
Confusing your name at beginning,
I don’t understand from now
How I couldn’t help hearing –
Your name – is the happiness' sound…
The happiness

Thank you very much, Татьяна. :).
I think use of possessive 's in the word "happiness's" looks kind of massive...
If you mean "sound of happiness" - I would write it just like "happiness' sound" as usual for plurals or words ending with letter "s". But usage of construction "ss's" is OK since it is not prohibited and some authors insist on using this form for example in "boss's", "hostess's", etc. In those cases you can almost hear "bossEs", "hostessEs"... But in your verse/rhyme - it's not the case.
