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.
Thank you for the daffodils
Standing in their pewter vase
Pointing to heaven and the stars...
We’ve said goodbye for what seems long
But I’ll be brave in time between
Although the pickings may be lean...
