Comrades, Fill No Glass for Me |
Oh, comrades, fill no glass for me |
To drown my soul in liquid flame |
For if I drank, the toast should be |
To blighted fortune, health and fame |
Yet, though I long to quell the strife |
That passion holds against my life |
Still, boon companions may ye be |
But, comrades, fill no glass for me |
Oh, I know a breast that once was light |
Whose patient sufferings need my care |
I know a hearth that once was bright |
But drooping hopes have nestled there |
Then while the teardrops nightly steal |
From wounded hearts that I should heal |
Though, boon companions ye may be |
Oh, comrades, fill no glass for me |
When I was young I felt the tide |
Of aspirations undefiled |
But manhood’s years have wronged the pride |
My parents centred in their child |
Then, by a mother’s sacred tear |
By all that memory should revere |
Though, boon companions may ye be |
Oh, comrades, fill no glass for me |
