| This life dear Corry who can doubt | B |
| Resembles much friend Ewart's wine | C |
| When first the rosy drops come out | B |
| How beautiful how clear they shine | C |
| And thus awhile they keep their tint | D |
| So free from even a shade with some | E |
| That they would smile did you but hint | D |
| That darker drops would ever come | E |
| - | |
| But soon the ruby tide runs short | F |
| Each minute makes the sad truth plainer | G |
| Till life like old and crusty port | F |
| When near its close requires a strainer | G |
| - | |
| This friendship can alone confer | G |
| Alone can teach the drops to pass | H |
| If not as bright as once they were | G |
| At least unclouded thro' the glass | H |
| - | |
| Nor Corry could a boon be mine | C |
| Of which this heart were fonder vainer | G |
| Than thus if life grow like old wine | C |
| To have thy friendship for its strainer | G |
