A CUP OF TEA & AUTHENTIC VICTORIAN TEA MENUS

"Speak only well of people and you need never whisper"

A Cup Of Tea

When the world is all at odds

And the mind is all at sea

Then cease the useless tedium

And brew a cup of tea.
There is magic in its' fragrance,

There is solace in its' taste;

And the laden moments vanish

Somehow into space.
And the world becomes a lovely thing !

There's beauty as you'll see;

All because you briefly stopped

To brew a cup of tea.
