And that pleasures early vintage has
leaked from my cup Of joy;
But my losses and my crosses

With my chances growing thinner,
That the gold within my nature suffers

But know that I'm mellow;
Simple-hearted. tender fellow
When romp and play and frolic with my

It may be that grow weary
Sometimes Of the world so dreary,
Ard that moody meditation may too oft my

But his merre eyes beguiling
Change my humor into smiling.

When the little follows dreaming,
And the golden cascades streaming
From his head upon my bosom, and he
sleeps without annoy,
Then I kiss the lips of laughter,
Thinking that the great hereafter
