Explore "The Smoker's Year Book" by Oliver Herford on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Drowsing o'er my sainted briar, / Dreaming dreams of Heart's Desire, / Dreaming 'neath the August sun, / Thus my meditations run -- / What if that great Ember bright / Were a monster Pipe alight, / Or the glowing from afar / Of some Fire-God's cigar? / If the Smoker's Peace abide / In that sun fire, multiplied / By its vastness, I will be / Henceforth a devout Parsee.
