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.
No I don’t tire of her smile
Her face is new each time I look
Why she is merry- in my book...
Our white-walled houses facing west
Catch the sunset’s final glow
Dusk forms in branches as I mow...
