Except:
for a drink or two, a cheery fire
ere I retire to dream of you.
I like this because it's concise but still has a nice snap to it. Agree with Erectus about the "cheery fire" and the "ere."
Lots of posibilities, with facets I may well want to nick some day...
The cheery fire would be a dwindling campfire for me, I suppose.
