MAGIAN WINE, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Amulets gemmed, to miriam dear
Last Line: Ambiguous in the beading hymn.
Subject(s): Alcoholism & Alcoholics


Amulets gemmed, to Miriam dear,
Adown in liquid mirage gleam;
Solomon's Syrian charms appear,
Opal and ring supreme.
The rays that light this Magian Wine
Thrill up from semblances divine.

And, seething through the rapturous wave,
What low Elysian anthems rise:
Sibylline inklings blending rave,
Then lap the verge with sighs.
Delirious here the oracles swim
Ambiguous in the beading hymn.
