And you, oh, friends from west and east
And other foreign parts,
Come share the rapture of our feast,
The love of loyal hearts;
And in the wassajl that suspends
All matters burthensome.
Well drink health to good old friends
Aud good friends yet to come.

Asked over and over,

Shone in her gray eyes
