BRIGHTON PIER

WHICH is the merriest place to love,

Whether it be for a day or year;

Where can we slip, like a cast-off glove,

The care that hovers our world above?

Come and be taught upon Brighton Pier!

Wandering waves on the shingle dash,

The sky’s too blue for a thoughtless tear;

Danger is nothing but pessimist trash,

And the morning’s made for a healthy splash:
