The Artist Muses at His Ease Lyrics

The Artist muses at his ease,
Contented that his work is done,
And smiling--smiling!--as he sees
His crowd collecting, one by one.
Alas! his travail's but begun!
None, none can keep the years in line
,
And what to Ninety-Eight is fun
May raise the gorge of Ninety-Nine!

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
