My love has left me now to carve her own career O;<br>Not all the hopes of her I had of her are worth a maravedi;<br>My love has gone to Birmingham to be a Bearded Lady.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">My love now dwells in circus halls with clowns and tight-rope dancers,<br>Where dromedaries play bassoons and sea-lions do the lancers;<br>She moves amongst trick-bicyclists, buffoons and comic waiters,<br>With elephants and acrobats and prestidigitators.<br>No longer daily by my side she wanders through the hay now,<br>The glamour of the public eye has lured are far away now.<br>Remorseless Fates, my tender hopes how cruelly betrayed ye!<br>My love has gone to Birmingham to be a Bearded Lady.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">When I was young and ignorant I loved a Miss McDougall;<br>But that was e'er she heard the call of Fame's imperious bugle.<br>I thought her kind as she was fair, but I was green and calfish;<br>My love, though brighter than a star, was colder than a starfish.<br>High hopes of happiness I had when I was young and tender;<br>But time and tide have falsified my juvenile agenda.<br>Farewell, my castle is in the air! Phantasmal mansions, fade ye!<br>My love has gone to Birmingham to be a Bearded Lady.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Patrick+Barrington">Patrick Barrington</a><div class=q>

Our days were spent in happiness, although our means were frugal;
We did not sigh for worldly wealth, for vain and tawdry treasures,
We were a simple country pair with simple country pleasure..."></div>
