ON AN URN, by RICHARD GARNETT (1835-1906)Poet's Biography
First Line: Both thou and I alike, my bacchic urn Last Line: Keep thou me blithe, and flowing I'll keep thee.
BOTH thou and I alike, my Bacchic urn, From clay are sprung, and must to clay return; But happier fate this day is mine and thine, For I am full of life, and thou of wine; Our powers for mutual aid united be, Keep thou me blithe, and flowing I'll keep thee.
