My Love some new pillows bought,
And threw
away the old.
"And now sleep avoids me," says she,
"As
rabbits shun the marigold."
"The reason's quite simple," say I,
"If
the truth be told.
"More than twenty years of dreams
"The
other pillows did behold.
"New dreams come only one night at a
time
"To fit the new pillows' mold.
"But, my Love, sweet sleep is certain to
return
"Before you grow too old."
