CIT sTINGETH LIKE A SERPENT, -

All warnings to the winds away,
Bring here the cleaning treasure
The true Lethe to doom all care
And fill our lives with pleasure.
Drink that the eye may grow more bright ;
Drink thS the heart may leap more light
Drink, but all ae fearfd night,
SIT stingeth Ike a serpent"
One cup we quafr to absent. friends
Beneath the old home rafter.
And swift the hours glide along.
With song and dance and laughter
Its but fool who spurns the wine,
We the wiser bow at Bacchus' shrine
Forgetting, when its bubbles shine,
{" 1t stingeth like a serpent"
1t mocks us with dream Joy,
A pathway strewn with flowers,
Where youth and health and pleasure meet
TO speed the roseate hours
But at last when spring has fled,
And flowers have all their fragrance shed,
When storms beat on our naked head,
eft biteth like u serpent"
Oh leave the flowers, the song, the dance,
That in the wine cup glitter,
They mock our lives, and passing make
The after life more bitter.
The flowers will fade and die Ger long,
And stilled the dance and hushed the sons,
And thorns rise up, our pathway throng,
eft biteth like SERPENT"
