Methought I sat beneath the silver beam

Of the sweet moon, and you were with me there,

And everything around was free and fair;

And from our mouths upcurled the fragrant smoke,

Whose light blue wreaths can all our pleasures yoke,

In sweetest union to young Fancy’s car,

And waft the soul out thro’ a good cigar.

There as we sat and puffed the hours away,

And talked and laughed about life’s little day,

And built our golden castles in the air,
