destiny glasses life-is
The glass of your life is darkened, and darkly through it you see distorted and ghastly fragments of duty and destiny.
song writing chiefs
What rare days were those, When my chief duty was to write a song.
evil done earth

growing-up moon simple
I love this simple maiden, She grows upon me more and more, And--ask the moon who 't was that kissed, Last night upon the shore!
summer sleep dark
A silence reigns upon the air, Upon the pansies by the shore, Upon the violets, pale and fair, Upon the willow, bending o'er; The reeds and lilies silent grow, The dark green waters silent sleep, Save when the summer breezes blow, Or silvery minnows leap.
beer golden-moments dry
Here with my beer I sit, while golden moments flit: alas! They pass unheeded by: and as they fly, I, being dry, sit idly sipping here, my beer.
