ON AN URN, by RICHARD GARNETT (1835-1906) Poet's Biography
First Line: Both thou and I alike, my bacchic urn
Last Line: Keep thou me blithe, and flowing I'll keep thee.
First Line: Both thou and I alike, my bacchic urn
Last Line: Keep thou me blithe, and flowing I'll keep thee.
BOTH thou and I alike, my Bacchic urn,
From clay are sprung, and must to clay return;
But happier fate this day is mine and thine,
For I am full of life, and thou of wine;
Our powers for mutual aid united be,
Keep thou me blithe, and flowing I'll keep thee.
