"I'VE DRANK'RY LAST GLASS. No, comrades, I thank you-not any for me; My last chain- Is riven-henceforward I'm free I will go to my home and my childrer1 to-night With no fumes of liquor their spiritt to blight; And, with tears in my eyes, I will beg my poor wife To forgive me the wreck I have made of herlife ! %,I have never refused you before!' Let that pass, For I've drunk ny last glass, boys, I have drunk my lsst glass. Just look at me now, boys, in rags and disgrace,. With my bleared, haggard eyes, and . my red, bloated face! My faltering step, and my weak pal sied hand, And the mark on my brow that is worse than Cain's braad, My crownless old hat, and my elbows and knees Alike warmed by the sunshine or chill ed by the breeze. Why, even the children hoot as I pass; But I've drunk ny last glass, boys, I have drunk my last glass. You would hardly believe, boys, to look at me now, That a mother's soft hand once was pressed on my brow When she kissed me, and blessed me, her darling, her pride. Ere she lay (own to rest by my dead father's side: But with love in her eyes, she looked up to the sky, Bidding ME meet her THERE, and then whispered, "Good-bye." And 111 do it, God helping I Your smile I let pass, For I've drunk my last glass,boys, I have drunk my last glass. As I reeled home last night-it was not very late, For I had spent my last sixprnce, and landlords "won't wait ' Ou a fellow who's left every cent in their till, And has pawned his last bedding their coffersto till. Oh, the torments I felt, and the pangs lendured I And I begged for ONE glass-thinking ONE would have cured. But when kicked out of doors] I let that, too, pass; But I've dr unk my last glass, bo3 s, I have drunk my last glass. At home my pet Susie, with bright golden hair, I saw through the window, just kneel ing in prayer, From her thin, bony hands her torn sleeves were strung down, While her feet, cold and bare, sh rank beneath her sc.uat gown I And she PRAYED, prayed in vain, just a poor crust of bread, For ONE crust on her knees my pet darling plead ! And I HEARD with no penny to buy one, alas ! But I've drunk my last glass, boys, I have drunk my last glass. For Susie, my darling, wee six-year old, Though fainting with hunger and shiv ring with cold, Thiere on the bare floor, asked God to bless ME!I And she said, "Don't cry, mamma I r He will ! for you see I BFLIEVE what I ask for!I "Then so bered, I crept Away from the house; and that night wheni I slept, Next my heart lay the PLEDGE!I You may emilec! let it pass; For I've drunk my last glass, boys, I have drunk my last glass. My darling child saved mec! 11cr faitli and her love Are akin to my dear sainted mothe1 I'Will make her words true, or I'll die it the raice, And sober, I'll go to ny last resting place; And she, she shall kneel there, am weeping, thank God, NO DRUNKARD lies under the daisy strewn sod I Not a drop more of poison my lipt shall e'er pass, For I've drunkiny last glass, boys I have drunk my last glass.
