I have made for you a song, br And it may be right or wrong, br But only you can tell me if it's true; br I have tried for to explain br Both your pleasure and your pain, br And, Thomas, here's my best respects to you! br br O there'll surely come a day br When they'll give you all your pay, br And treat you as a Christian ought to do; br So, until that day comes round, br Heaven keep you safe and sound, br And, Thomas, here's my best respects to you!br br Rudyard Kiplingbr br
