TO JOCK.
May 5, 1916.
The flow'rs that in sunshine their favours unfold
Are a picture quite handsome to see;
But the face that keeps smiling when Fortune blows cold
Is a sight more endearing to me.
Are a picture quite handsome to see;
But the face that keeps smiling when Fortune blows cold
Is a sight more endearing to me.
And, Jock! I have found thee, again and again,
Let Fortune shift round as she will,
In winter and summer, in sunshine or rain,
The same old Unchangeable still.
Let Fortune shift round as she will,
In winter and summer, in sunshine or rain,
The same old Unchangeable still.
Then here's to thee, lad, for the smile of thy face,
And thy heart that no winter-time knows;
A nature like thine is a joy in each place,
And a summer wherever it goes.
And thy heart that no winter-time knows;
A nature like thine is a joy in each place,
And a summer wherever it goes.
