The way to live

Sir, did you call on me tonight?
I really was unaware
And in that gloom to linger
I did not dare.
The road there, as you know
Is laid with snares.
Come then, let us not fight
You must know it is not right,
we are two halves of a whole
why do you turn away
to bring miseries untold?
Together let us dance and play
Or, in a word, let us be gay,
For our time is short, in a trice
Night will come to demand price.
I look elsewhere when you call, you say?
How does it matter, tell me, pray?
This here and this now enjoy
In other spheres your mind don’t deploy.
That is the secret to good life
To health, to wealth, to o’ercoming strife
