WINE, MY LOVE, by                    
First Line: Ho, bring her hither, happy boy
Last Line: It broadly smiles for the good cheer.
Alternate Author Name(s): Abu Jafar Ahmad Ibn Said


Ho, bring her hither, happy boy,
For in her presence is my joy,
But (and does love need further proof?)
I grieve when she remains aloof.

I speak upon the wine: when she
Departs, the bowl weeps bitterly,
But when the glass beholds her near
It broadly smiles for the good cheer.
