THE DRUNKARD
I saw a man at early dawn
Sitting round a grocery door.
His eyes were sunk his lips
were parched,
As I viewed him o'er and o'er.
A little boy stood by his side
And unto him did say:
Dear Father, Mother's sick at home
And sister cries for bread.
He turned around, went in at the door
And, staggering up to the bar,
He faltered unto the landlord:
Just give me one drink more.
The host obeyed at this command
And again filled up the bowl.
He drank while wife and children starved
And ruined his own soul.
A year had elapsed; I passed that way.
A crovvd had gathered round.
I paused to ask the reason why.
One replied: The drunkard is no more.
I saw a hearse move slowly along;
No wife nor children were there
They had gone before the murderer,
And left this world of care.
Come all you jolly dram drinkers,
By this a warning take;
And quit the overflowing bowl
Before it is too late.
