You boy, were my candle in my cavern of misery
Yet you are now my worst enemy
My room is now strewn with empty bottles of mead and gin
For I fear I will never again see your honey sweet grin
Oh sweet child, why do you cripple me so?
And fill my heart with so much woe
It was once I who comforted you when a barrage of nightmare brought you to tears
And yet, it is now I who weeps while sleeping
You used to smile at me with love, but now it is all jeers and sneers
So for many nights more, I will continue drinking
