Through the night they will stay,
And lie knows not how many tomorrows.
His proboscis is red;
Oer his face there is spread
A sad look that betrays melancholy,
He's picture of grief
And arouses belief
That he never again can be Jolly.
There are tears in his eyes
That but more emphasize
The affliction with which he's contendings
And his harsh, husky tones,
And his half suppressed moans
Make impression that's almost heartrcnding.
There is often Hneeze,
And there's often wheeze
As he stops for brief conversations;
Oft he heaves deep sigh
As he wipes from each eye
Tears in time to prevent percolation.
He has trouble to burn,
But advice he will spurn,
For he says he's tried everything going;
There is nothing to do
But to worry IL through
And keep up pretense OF brave showing.
