Show The Rhyme of a Hand j Im I'm sitting alone to tonight night night by the fire Alone with my old pipe and C O. O As I send the graceful blue rings higher h n nI j I I dream of ofa a dainty hand Of a little hand I held last night The fairest in all the land t t My heart leaps high with the flickering flame lr lra a As I live that moment oer o'er And my pipes pipe's odoriferous smokes smoke's the same 1 As an incense burnt before 8 The shrine of that hand I held last night tA tAI U I pull at my pipe once more f 1 i o But my heart sinks low as the fitful blaze i For wheres where's the joy that can last My pipe is out and as cold as the ways In which my life has be been n cast J Ah dear little hand that I held last night i Could I but recall the past j The future may hold many joys in store I t May honor een glory bring But can it eer give what I value more more Than the little hand I sing 1 The little hand I held last last night night night- V i f four aces and a king r Lafayette Lafayette |
