When I am an old woman I shall wear purple With a red hat which doesn’t go, and doesn’t Suit me. And I shall spend my pension on brandy and Summer gloves And satin sandals, and say we’ve no money for butter.

All that we are
Arised with our thoughts.

And happiness will follow you
As your shadow,
UNSHAKABLE!
