As I am thine, thou shalt be mine!
Ne'er a wee word from goddess-like she!
Heart petrescent! - woe is me!
Ho! fill the beaker, fill it up!
Rubies with sparkling diamonds crowned;
Advertisement
Care and kittens must both be drowned,
One in a pool and one in a cup.
List! in the hedgerows throstles make moan;
Sweet is their singing, but sweeter mine own.
Cursed be all! The lily-white cat
Hath crooned her prophecy oft in vain.-
Cold drops patter on window-pane.
Abracadabra! What of that?
Coal will burn in an air-tight stove!
Pass the beaker! - O Love, my Love!
