Exercises in Song 2008: #1
Be my way home shown to me!
I'm tired by the drinks that have been bought,
My judgment clouded; and whenever beds are discussed
I am tempted by the thought!
Though hills might be marched on,
Oceans crossed, shores walked along,
Yet your ears will be beset by the words
Which are contained in this song.
