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.
The thoughts that scourge me in the night
Cannot defer the living skies
Of dawn and morning’s hopeful light...
Let me be where your lovely feet are
On treads of stairs where you pass I’ll be
Among grass blades...
