EATING SONG, by                    
First Line: Oh! Carve me yet another slice
Last Line: And now it gives my heart relief / in sorrow's darksome hour - to dine!
Subject(s): Food & Eating


Oh! carve me yet another slice,
O help me to more gravy still,
There's naught so sure as something nice
To conquer care, or grief to kill.

I always loved a bit of beef,
When Youth and Bliss and Hope were mine;
And now it gives my heart relief
In sorrow's darksome hour—to dine!
