His eyes were sunk his lips were parched, As I viewed him o'er and o'er. A little boy stood by his side And unto him did say: Dear Father, Mother's sick at home And sister cries for bread. He turned around, went in at the door And, staggering up to the bar, He faltered unto the landlord: Just give me one drink more. The host obeyed at this command And again filled up the bowl. He drank while wife and children starved And ruined his own soul. A year had elapsed; I passed that way. A crovvd had gathered round. I paused to ask the reason why. One replied: The drunkard is no more. I saw a hearse move slowly along; No wife nor children were there They had gone before the murderer, And left this world of care. Come all you jolly dram drinkers, By this a warning take; And quit the overflowing bowl Before it is too late. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
