A poem by Herman Melville

Pipe Song

________________________________________________
Title:     Pipe Song
Author: Herman Melville [More Titles by Melville]

Care is all stuff:--
Puff! Puff!
To puff is enough:--
Puff! Puff
More musky than snuff,
And warm is a puff:--
Puff! Puff
Here we sit mid our puffs,
Like old lords in their ruffs,
Snug as bears in their muffs:--
Puff! Puff
Then puff, puff, puff,
For care is all stuff,
Puffed off in a puff--
Puff! Puff!


[The end]
Herman Melville's poem: Pipe Song
