Will you have resource

To a plain divorce

When I smell of hops like a brewer’s horse?

Will your faith still shine when the world grows grey?

When the Autumn comes, will your heart grow sere?

Will you wear the smile that you wear to-day

When you wear the hat that you wore last year?

Girl, keep your vow!

Things will shape somehow—

And we’ll take our toll from the lap of Now!
