Gay Lovingcup! As joyful as the morn,
Crowned with a wreath of Rye and Barleycorn
And Purple Grapes from France, and in her lap
The Hops that put Milwaukee on the map.
Poor Lovingcup! How brief was her romance!
While her brave brothers fought for her in France.
Swift to her doom the hapless maiden went,
Drowned in a tank of half of one per cent.
