Here^s a sigh for those who love me,

And a smile for those who hate.

And whatever sky's above me.

Here's a heart for any fate.

Were't the last drop in the well.

As I gasped upon the brink.

Ere my fainting spirit fell,

'Tis to thee that I would drink.

—Lord Byron

Here's a toast to all who are here.

No matter where you're from:

May the best day you have seen

Be worse than your worst to come.
