Gin comes in at the mouth
And love comes in at the eye;
That's all we know for truth
Before we grow old and die.
He lifts the glass to his mouth,
He looks at her, and releases a sigh.

She is so fragile.
A jewel, a flower;
Delicate,
In all that she did.

She looks as though...
If you bit her,
Milk and honey would flow from her.
