Poet Analysis

First Line: WE'LL DRINK TO-NIGHT WITH HEARTS AS LIGHT
Last Line: AND BREAK ON THE LIPS WHILE MEETING.
Subject(s): ALCOHOLISM & ALCOHOLICS;
We'll drink to-night with hearts as light,
To love, as gay and fleeting
As bubbles that swim, on the beaker's brim,
And break on the lips while meeting.
