First Line: To lie with half-closed eyes, as in a dream
Last Line: And smoke.
Subject(s): Smoking; Tobacco; Pipes; Cigars; Cigarettes
To lie with half-closed eyes, as in a dream,
Upon the grassy bank of some calm stream—
And smoke.
To climb with daring feet some rugged rock,
And sit aloft where gulls and curlews flock—
And smoke.
To wander lonely on the ocean's brink,
And of the good old times to muse and think—
And smoke.
To hide me in some deep and woody glen,
Far from unhealthy haunts of sordid men—
And smoke.
To linger in some fairy-haunted vale
While all about me falls the moonlight pale—
And smoke.
