First Line: Wine of life? I have drunk of it!
Last Line: I do all! — I have drunk of the wine of life.
Subject(s): Friendship; Life
Wine of life? I have drunk of it!
Ocean of sorrow? I bathed in it!
Fountain of love! I have listened to it
Playing melodies
On the moon's many-stringed light.
The lake of friendship, I contain in my soul;
The river of joy has flowed into it;
And on the upland of my heart,
Dances dream-footed,
Song-drunk Radha.
Krishna, the player of flute,
The lover, the playful enchanter of hearts —
He has drunk of the wine of my life:
Is bound by the magic of my art.
Who am I? Maker of lute from the East,
Have breathed into it the soul that is God:
How can I do it? Foolish thy inquiry:
I do all! — I have drunk of the wine of life.
