LINES ON ALE by EDGAR ALLAN POE

Poet Analysis

First Line: FILL WITH MINGLED CREAM AND AMBER
Last Line: I AM DRINKING ALE TODAY.
Subject(s): DRINKS & DRINKING; WINE;
Fill with mingled cream and amber,
I will drain that glass again.
Such hilarious visions clamber
Through the chamber of my brain --
Quaintest thoughts -- queerest fancies
Come to life and fade away;
What care I how time advances?
I am drinking ale today.
