The Lazy Minstrel (Classic Reprint)

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lazy Minstrel Fring's Delights are now returning 1 Let the Lazy Minstrel sing While the ruddy logs are burning, Let his merry banjo ring I Take no heed of pluvial patter, Waste no time in vain regrets Though our teeth are all a-chatter, Like the clinking castanets Though it's freezing, sleeting, snowing, Though we're speechless from catarrh, Though the East wind's wildly blowing, Let us warble, T ra la la.
