The Drinking Song

by J. R. R. Tolkien

J. R. R. Tolkien

Ho! Ho! Ho! To the bottle I go
To heal my heart and drown my woe.
Rain may fall and wind may blow,
And many miles be still to go
But under a tall tree I will lie,
And let the clouds go sailing by.

    Pauline Barrett
    by Edgar Lee Masters
    Almost the shell of a woman after the surgeon's knife! And almost a year to creep back into strength, Till the dawn of our wedding decennial Found me my seeming self again.
