Poor blind Tam, the beggar man,
I'll give a penny to as soon as I can.
Where he stood at the corner in his rags, and cried,
The sun without shadow does now abide.
Safe be my penny till I come some day
To where Tam's waiting. And then I'll say,
'Here is my ghost, Tam, from the fire and dew,
And the penny I grudged kept safe for you.'
