Poet Analysis

First Line: FILL ME THE BEAKER
Last Line: FOR THIS FRESH AIR AND FRAGRANT WINE.
Subject(s): HEIDELBERG, GERMANY; TRAVEL; JOURNEYS; TRIPS;

Fill me the beaker!
Now, Rhine and Nekkar,
Health to ye both, ye noble streams!
Yours is a power,
To wing the hour
High above Wisdom's heavy dreams.
Germans! beer-drinking,
Tobacco-stinking,
Gladly, how gladly! I resign
All you are worth,
From south to north
For this fresh air and fragrant wine.
