BRIGHT white clouds and April skies
May make your heart feel bonny,
But summer's sun and flower's growth
Will fill my hives with honey,
And mead is sweet to a pugging tooth
When it's dark at four and snow clouds rise.

Owl light's sweet if the moon be bright,
And trysting's no bad folly,
But give me mead and a warm hearthstone,
And a cosy pipe and Dolly
—And Dolly to devil a mutton bone
When it's dark at four of a winter's night.
