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 strode home through the rec
A fine wintry evening, one star alight
And a lonely plane, in the dimmed blue sky...
The days would have been rainier
The dark sky never clear
If you’d gone to Tasmania...
