ON WINE, by HESIOD Poet's Biography First Line: Wine cheers our hearts, and makes us glad Last Line: Till we our freedom get by sleep. Subject(s): Drinks & Drinking; Wine | ||||||||
WINE cheers our hearts, and makes us glad, When Grief and Cares have left us sad: But more than Nature does suffice, Will cast a cloud before our eyes; 'Twill bind the tongue, the feet, and hands, Ere we perceive, with strongest bands; And us its drunken slaves will keep, Till we our freedom get by Sleep. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A CUP OF TREMBLINGS by JOHN HOLLANDER VINTAGE ABSENCE by JOHN HOLLANDER SENT WITH A BOTTLE OF BURGUNDY FOR A BIRTHDAY by JOHN HOLLANDER TO A CIVIL SERVANT by EDMUND JOHN ARMSTRONG WINE by FRIEDRICH MARTIN VON BODENSTEDT THE GOOD FELLOW by ALEXANDER BROME WHEN A WOMAN LOVES A MAN by DAVID LEHMAN |
