From a burglar in his flight.

I see the lights of "the village"

Gleam through the evening mist,

And a feeling of dryness comes o'er me,

And a tiddley I can't resist.

A feeling of blueness, and longing

For a spree, and another drain;

It resembles sorrow only

As gooseberry does champagne.

Come, tip me some snappy poem,
