The heart which grief hath cankered
Hath one unfailing remedy - the Tankard.

Grief

More quotes by Charles Stuart Calverley

I sit alone at present, dreaming darkly of a Dun.

I can not sing the old songs now!
It is not that I deem them low;
’T is that I can’t remember how
They go.

Forever; ’t is a single word!
Our rude forefathers deemed it two:
Can you imagine so absurd
A view?

I've read in many a novel, that unless they've souls that grovel—
Folks prefer in fact a hovel to your dreary marble halls.

The farmer’s daughter hath soft brown hair
(Butter and eggs and a pound of cheese)
And I met with a ballad, I can’t say where,
That wholly consisted of lines like these.
