Show The Lucky Man. 'Tl sweet upon a wintry night To sit beside the fire-When fire-When outside all the wmld Is whlto And by the window howl affright The billiards blinded Ire With a llxely tale, n glns o' grog. A glowing pipe nnd A crackling logl What though at time a saddening thought Comes for the luckless soul" Tho sailor on the fioien mast. The homcles whete the whirlwinds blast. And Death In hi oliarlnt lolls Without the tale ahd the glass o- gtog. The glowing pipe and the crackling log? Tot e'en thoughts shadow build the flio llrlghter bv such compare. And the howl o' the stnim through lenf- less tree Sesm but to deepen the loungei's ease To dream that aie lailly fair. With a Uel tule and a gla o giog, A glowing pipe and a ciackllng log.
