Ode To A Pipe.

Faulkner, John

   Ode To A Pipe

   When night has come and chores are done
   And sparks waft up the flue
   In a worn old chair I sit me down
   And turn, Old Pipe, to you

   You take me far from things that are
   To things as I hoped they'd be
   Dead dreams of youth live in your smoke
   These things, Old Pipe, you bring to me

   Each sinking sun sees a fading hope
   That each dawn borns anew
   In the curling smoke from your blackened bowl.
   I see my dreams come true

   Back through the years you carry me
   To days of Auld Lang Syne
   When life was young and hope was sweet
   And so are you, Old Pipe of Mine

   But time grows late and to bed I must
   To be up with the dawn's first light
   So I put you down but I promise this
   We'll dream again tomorrow night
