    St. Leon raised his kindling eye,
    And lifts the sparkling cup on high;
    "I drink to one," he said,
    "Whose image never may depart,
    Deep graven on this grateful heart,
    Till memory be dead."
    . . . .
    St. Leon paused, as if he would
    Not breathe her name in careless mood
    Thus lightly to another;
    Then bent his noble head, as though
    To give the word the reverence due,
    And gently said, "My mother!"

I am from Massachusetts,
The land of the sacred cod,
There the Adamses snub the Abootts
And the Cabots walk with God.

You to the left and I to the right,
For the ways of men must sever--
And read more

You to the left and I to the right,
For the ways of men must sever--
And it may be for a day and a night,
And it well may be forever.
But whether we meet or whether we part,
(For our ways are past our knowing)
A pledge from the heart to its fellow heart,
On the ways we all are going!
Here's luck!
For we know not where we are going.

I fill this cup to one made up
Of loveliness alone,
A woman, of her gentle sex

I fill this cup to one made up
Of loveliness alone,
A woman, of her gentle sex
The seeming paragon;
To whom the better elements
And kindly stars have given
A form so fair that, like the air,
'Tis less of earth than heaven.

Drink to me only with thine eyes,

Drink to me only with thine eyes,
And I will pledge with mine;
Or leave a kiss but in the cup,
And I'll not look for wine.
