NOW, boys, just a moment! you've all had your say While enjoying yourselves in so pleasant a way; We've toasted our sweethearts, our friends, and our wives; We've toasted each other, wishing all merry lives-- Here's to one in a million, the dearest, the best, Like the sun in the heavens, she outshines the rest! Don't frown when I tell you this toast beats all others, But drink one more toast, boys, a toast to "Our Mothers!" | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FREEDOM by RALPH WALDO EMERSON THE MARTYRS OF THE MAINE by RUPERT HUGHES CALIBAN [ON THE ISLAND], FR.
