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.
They go, in sun and wind, past standing cars
I watch their backs whom I love so
Smart and striding upright and purposeful...
It’s peaceful now. The afternoon is still.
The street is quiet. Voices very dear
Reach up the stairs...
