Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGHGI ABABJIJILife you've been mighty good to me | A |
Yet here's the end of the trail | B |
No more mountain moor and sea | A |
No more saddle and sail | B |
Waves a leap in the laughing sun | C |
Call to me as of yore | D |
Alas my errant days are done | C |
I'll rove no more no more | D |
- | |
Life you've cheered me all the way | E |
You've been my bosom friend | F |
But gayest dog will have his day | E |
And biggest binge must end | F |
Shorebound I watch and see afar | G |
A wistful isle grow wan | H |
While over is a last lone star | G |
Dims out in lilac dawn | I |
- | |
Life you've been wonderful to me | A |
But fleetest foot must fail | B |
The hour must come when all will see | A |
The last lap of the trail | B |
Yet holding in my heart a hymn | J |
Of praise for gladness gone | I |
Serene I wait my star to dim | J |
In the glow of the Greater Dawn | I |
