LUCK, by                    
First Line: Let there live aye a lad's laugh in the throat of you
Last Line: Let death be a step betwix you and the god of you!
Subject(s): Death; Life; Luck; Dead, The


LET there live aye a lad's laugh in the throat of you—
Let you aye have a gay swing to the coat of you—
Let there aye be one poorer to borrow a groat of you!

Let you find hands of dear women to mother you—
Let you find shoulders of comrades that brother you—
Let you find arms of the small ones to smother you!

Let folk be the happier just for the nod of you—
Let you be in love with the road that is trod of you—
Let Death be a step betwix you and the God of you!
