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.
In void cloudless afternoons
With dust on kerbs, trees weary with the sun
I thought of things, things I might do...
Why do I love you
Because stars stand in the sky
And never seem to die...
