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 can’t believe we’re here, he thought
It’s marvellous that we’re here
Through all the tears that love has brought...
The soft late sun outlines the trees
Before its setting threads the sky
With cloud and gleam then going frees...
