In the house of Idiedaily | A |
- | |
There were always throats to sing | B |
Down the river banks with spring | B |
- | |
When the stir of heart's desire | C |
Set the sapling's heart on fire | C |
- | |
Bobolincolns in the meadows | D |
Leisure in the purple shadows | D |
- | |
Till the poppies without number | C |
Bowed their heads in crimson slumber | C |
- | |
And the twilight came to cover | C |
Every unreluctant lover | C |
- | |
Not a night but some brown maiden | E |
Bettered all the dusk she strayed in | F |
- | |
While the roses in her hair | G |
Bankrupted oblivion there | G |
- | |
Oh but life went gayly gayly | A |
In the house of Idiedaily | A |
- | |
But this hostelry The Barrow | H |
With its chambers bare and narrow | H |
- | |
Mean ill windowed damp and wormy | I |
Where the silence makes you squirmy | I |
- | |
And the guests are never seen to | J |
Is a vile place a mere lean to | J |
- | |
Not a traveller speaks well of | K |
Even worse than I heard tell of | K |
- | |
Mouldy ramshackle and foul | A |
What a dwelling for a soul | A |
- | |
Oh but life went gayly gayly | A |
In the house of Idiedaily | A |
- | |
There the hearth was always warm | I |
From the slander of the storm | I |
- | |
There your comrade was your neighbor | C |
Living on to morrow's labor | C |
- | |
And the board was always steaming | B |
Though Sir Ringlets might be dreaming | B |
- | |
Not a plate but scoffed at porridge | L |
Not a cup but floated borage | L |
- | |
There were always jugs of sherry | M |
Waiting for the makers merry | M |
- | |
And the dark Burgundian wine | N |
That would make a fool divine | N |
- | |
Oh but life went gayly gayly | A |
In the house of Idiedaily | A |
