Come, have a drink with me –
Care can swallow love,
And tasks devour time
Enough of cups of tea!
Your eyes, ever more sublime,
Dancing bright above
A brown and friendly beer
Will soon meet mine, my dear
Intoxicatingly.
I looked in, saw you washing your hair,
Kneeling, turning head side to side
To catch the shower jets...
I leave you – back there – a dozen miles away
A journey of great length –
Hours till we meet...
