RING FROM THE RIM OF THE GLASS, BOYS, by JOHN CLINTON ANTHONY First Line: Ring from the rim of the glass, boys Last Line: Mindless of after-moans. Subject(s): Universities & Colleges | ||||||||
RING from the rim of the glass, boys, Ripples of tinkling tones; Drink to the heyday of youth, boys, Mindless of after-moans. Over the rim of the glass, boys, Gaze into eyes that are bright. Drink with each sip of the wine, boys, Passionate gleams of delight. Sing to the rim of the glass, boys, Chorus wherever we roam. Drink in its sparkling-eyed depths, boys, A love as light as its foam. Kiss the rim of the glass, boys, Blind to its siren-gleam. Drink in its shading depths, boys, The wav'ring forms of a dream. Then ring from the rim of the glass, boys, Ripples of tinkling tones. Drink to the heyday of youth, boys, Mindless of after-moans. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...CAMPUS SONNET: MAY MORNING by STEPHEN VINCENT BENET CAMPUS SONNET: RETURN - 1917 by STEPHEN VINCENT BENET CAMPUS SONNET: TALK by STEPHEN VINCENT BENET ODE FOR SCHOOL CONVOCATION by JOHN CIARDI A PHOTO OF A LOVER FROM MY JUNIOR YEAR IN COLLEGE by ALBERT GOLDBARTH KENT STATE, MAY 1970 by JOHN HAINES TO A VISITING POET IN A COLLEGE DORMITORY by CAROLYN KIZER BACCALAUREATE by ARCHIBALD MACLEISH A SOCIETY MARTYR by JOHN CLINTON ANTHONY |
