A Cup of Tea 'n Koppke Tee
Of all the joys they like the best, Ostfriesens say: "a cup of tea! Five times each day his soul's refreshed With Heaven's brew - a cup of tea."
When all goes wrong against your will When sickness steals your glee, One thought has power to heal you still: Make me a cup of tea.
I do not crave for beer or wine" They do not make my day. But when you set out tea to dine, I'll never say you "Nay."
When times are bad, a pot of tea Meant more than you can tell. A man would give his shirt for tea For it restored morale.
At end of day, when work is done, And you from cares are free, Then homeward bound you walk & run To make your precious cup of tea. |
