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.
If my love should live forever
She’ll go on murdering crosswords cos
(No one can deny) she’s clever...
This is the first Spring I remember
I don’t feel hope. You died in spring
And surely that one kept an ember...
