We've finished up the filthy war	A
We've won what we were fighting for	A
Or have we I don't know	B
But anyway I have my wish	C
I'm back upon the old Boul' Mich'	C
And how my heart's aglow	B
Though in my coat's an empty sleeve	D
Ah do not think I ever grieve	D
The pension for it I believe	D
Will keep me on the go	B
	-
So I'll be free to write and write	E
And give my soul to sheer delight	E
Till joy is almost pain	F
To stand aloof and watch the throng	G
And worship youth and sing my song	G
Of faith and hope again	H
To seek for beauty everywhere	I
To make each day a living prayer	I
That life may not be vain	F
	-
To sing of things that comfort me	J
The joy in mother eyes the glee	J
Of little ones at play	K
The blessed gentleness of trees	L
Of old men dreaming at their ease	L
Soft afternoons away	K
Of violets and swallows' wings	M
Of wondrous ordinary things	M
In words of every day	K
	-
To rhyme of rich and rainy nights	N
When like a legion leap the lights	N
And take the town with gold	O
Of taverns quaint where poets dream	P
Of cafes gaudily agleam	P
And vice that's overbold	O
Of crystal shimmer silver sheen	Q
Of soft and soothing nicotine	Q
Of wine that's rich and old	O
	-
Of gutters chimney tops and stars	R
Of apple carts and motor cars	R
The sordid and sublime	S
Of wealth and misery that meet	O
In every great and little street	O
Of glory and of grime	S
Of all the living tide that flows	T
From princes down to puppet shows	T
I'll make my humble rhyme	S
	-
So if you like the sort of thing	U
Of which I also like to sing	U
Just give my stuff a look	V
And if you don't no harm is done	W
	-
In writing it I've had my fun	W
Good luck to you and every one	W
And so	B
Here ends my book	V
