DRINKING SONG by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES

Poet Analysis

First Line: AH, LIFE, WE ARE NO SOONER DRESSED
Last Line: US LIKE GOOD WINE AND LOVE.
Subject(s): DRINKS & DRINKING; WINE;
Ah, Life, we are no sooner dressed
Than we must strip:
Come, Bacchus, then, you wondrous boy,
You god of laughter, peace and rest,
With friendship smiling on your lip --
There's nothing in this world can move
Us like good wine and love.
