There's such a lot of work to do for such a troubled headB
I m scribbling this against a book with foolscap round in bedB
It strikes me that I ll scribble much in this way by and byC
And write my last lines so perchance the day before I dieC
-
There s lots of things to come and go and I in careless rhymeD
And drink and love it wastes the most have wasted lots of timeD
There s so much good work to be done it makes me sure that IC
Will be the sorriest for my death the day before I dieC
-
But lift me dear for I am tired and let me taste the wineE
And lay your cheek a little while on this lined cheek of mineE
I want to say I love you so your patient love is whyC
I ll have such little time you know the day before I dieC
