FAIRY WINE, by ABBIE FARWELL BROWN Poet's Biography First Line: You from east and I from west Last Line: We sipped together at the feast! Subject(s): Drinks & Drinking; Fairies; Wine; Elves | ||||||||
YOU from east and I from west Both stumbled into Fairyland; And there we wandered, blithe and blest, Through elfin mazes, hand in hand. They poured a cup of magic brew And laid enchantment on our eyes; I thought I read the heart of you, You saw me in a fairy guise. Out of the wonder-hill we came; We blinked and stammered, wild and wan. For you and I were just the same, But lo! the witchery was gone! So, go your way and I'll go mine, You to the west, I to the east. But ah, how sweet the fairy wine We sipped together at the feast! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE FAERY FOREST by SARA TEASDALE THE LAND OF HEART'S DESIRE by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS THE FAIRIES by WILLIAM ALLINGHAM THE FAIRY CHILD by JOHN ANSTER THE FORSAKEN MERMAN by MATTHEW ARNOLD THE LITTLE ELF-MAN by JOHN KENDRICK BANGS TAM O' SHANTER by ROBERT BURNS A BOOK OF AIRS: SONG 19.
