Awake! I'm Off To Cities Far Away, I Said; And Rose, On Peradventures Bent. The Chimes Played "Life'S A Bumper!" On That Day To The Measure Of My Walking As I Went: Their Sweetness Frisked And Floated On The Lea, As They Played Out "Life'S A Bumper!" There To Me. "Awake!" I Said. "I Go To Take A Bride!" The Sun Arose Behind Me Ruby-Red As I Journeyed Townwards From The Countryside, The Chiming Bells Saluting Near Ahead. Their Sweetness Swelled In Tripping Tings Of Glee As They Played Out "Life'S A Bumper!" There To Me. "Again Arise." I Seek A Turfy Slope, And Go Forth Slowly On An Autumn Noon, And There I Lay Her Who Has Been My Hope, And Think, "O May I Follow Hither Soon!" While On The Wind The Chimes Come Cheerily, Playing Out "Life'S A Bumper!" There To Me.
