(While the lightning flasheth.)

Here's one to our lasses, How nimbly they dance! And the bright of our glasses Is the light of their glance. |
(And the revellers.)
|
Here's one to the vintry, How brightly he shines! May never the wintry, Drink deep of his wines. |
(He rolleth his parchment and speaketh.)
|
"'Tis young blood counts and moneyless brains! And the heart and soul of devil-may-care Is abroad in the land, with a fig for the pains, To do and to dare! to do and to dare!" |
(The Revellers.)
(While the storm rageth.)
|
Ah! the clink of our glasses, How they clink as we drink! And memory passes. Too pleasant to think. |
