Cakes and Ale
Language: English 
I'm always glad when Andrew comes.
If only I am there,
He stays a while and talks to me,
As if he did not care.
He took me to some Music once,
When it was all for me;
And O, I had a splendid time!
And he said,so did he.
It lasts, as if the Music still,
Went round and round the sky:
He said he had a good time,too,
And I said,so did I!
