The world was in my debt	A
I was the Friend of Man	B
When years ago I met	A
The Old Bohemian	C
	-
His hat was shocking bad	D
He wore a faded tie	E
And yet withal he had	D
A moist and shining eye	E
	-
And though his purse was lean	F
And though his coat was dyed	G
He had a lordly mien	F
And air of ancient pride	G
	-
We sat in a hotel	H
And drank the amber ale	I
And as I touched the bell	H
I listened to his tale	I
	-
He told me that some day	J
In his place I would be	K
But all the world was gay	J
No use in warning me	K
	-
He spoke of high Desire	L
And aspirations true	M
And flamed again the fire	L
In eyes of faded blue	M
	-
By God the old man said	N
The days of old were grand	O
I painted cities red	N
I owned the blessed land	O
	-
I loved when I was young	P
The girls in all the bars	Q
And coming home I hung	P
My hat upon the stars	Q
	-
And O the times were glad	D
Such times you never knew	M
And O the nights we had	D
And O the jolly crew	M
	-
Where are the songs the talk	R
The friends that used to be	K
I with my shadow walk	R
At last for company	K
	-
We dreamt in those old days	S
That Poets we would be	K
And though we missed the bays	S
We lived our Poetry	K
	-
We talked and talked and talked	T
And slowly one by one	C
My old companions walked	T
Into the setting sun	C
	-
The old Bohemian said	N
The world owes nought to me	K
I lie upon the bed	N
Which I made carefully	K
	-
There is one way to play	J
The mad Bohemian game	U
I found and took the way	J
And you will do the same	U
	-
Ah that was years ago	V
When skies were bright and blue	M
And now alas I know	V
His prophecy was true	M
	-
Yet fill the glass once more	W
Bohemians and sing	X
Upon another shore	W
There waits another Spring	X
