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.
