My lover's bounty does amaze....
She surfeits as she sings my praise,....
Pleasing as she tantalizes,....
As we entwine and fantasize; ....
Where would we be had we first met....
When we were so much younger yet,....
Had we been spared such long regrets....
The wasted time, the needless debts; ....
Had we when young had chanced to meet....
Upon some busy New York Street; ....
My life assured with her support,....
Would have bespoke a sane report; ....
And she been spared the agony....
Of loving him who longed to be....
Free of her, her loving arms,....
A grievous insult to loving charms;
But as we laze about the bed,....
And as she stokes my weary head,....
I lose my bitter attitude....
And kiss her cheek with gratitude; ....
That at least we have this twilight time....
As we watch the sun decliine.
