The hours were long with you away, Although I thought I could forget; I banished you and cursed the day That we had ever met. I frowned upon you, and I vowed That nevermore your charms I `d seek; I sought new pleasures with the crowd, But I am weak. Temptress I called you, and I swore No longer your demands I `d serve; Freedom I `d own forevermore, But lost my nerve. And absent, all my love returned, Not for one moment was I free, For you I nightly, daily yearned; Your slave I `d be. No charm in anything I found, No lustre in the skies of blue, I merely moped my way around, And sighed for you. I must be made of fragile clay, Unsuited for the hero type, For back to you I come today, Old briar pipe.
