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.
Through that yellow light
Of strange, mid-autumn morning
You walked and turned as ever...
Sun long gone soon after four
Trees against the sky, no more
With leaves, they claw the dimming cloud...
