Sweeter than rose and violet blsnt,
More potent in power than orange OF

To let in the south winds kiss for me,
While rock in the softly gathering

And that subtle fragrance steals,

II softly comes through the open doors,
And memory wakes at his command
The scent OF that good cigar.

And my heart alone 10 know,

Fear, I'LL my eyes till cannot see
From tie scent oil that good cigar,
