FORTUNE'S WHEEL |
The Collected Poems of Lord De Tabley | ||
FORTUNE'S WHEEL
I had a true-love, none so dear,
And a friend both leal and tried.
I had a cask of good old beer,
And a gallant horse to ride.
And a friend both leal and tried.
I had a cask of good old beer,
And a gallant horse to ride.
A little while did Fortune smile
On him and her and me.
We sang along the road of life
Like birds upon a tree.
On him and her and me.
We sang along the road of life
Like birds upon a tree.
My lady fell to shame and hell,
And with her took my friend.
My cask ran sour, my horse went lame,
So alone in the cold I end.
And with her took my friend.
My cask ran sour, my horse went lame,
So alone in the cold I end.
