I love Wine! Bold bright Wine! That biddeth the manly Spirit shine! Others may care For water fare; But give meWine! Ancient Wine! Brave old Wine! How it around the heart doth twine! Poets may love The stars above; But I loveWine. Nought but Wine! Noble Wine, Strong, and sound, and old, and fine. What can scare The Devil Despair Like brave bright Wine? O brave Wine! Rare old Wine! Once thou wast deemed a God divine! Bad are the rhymes And bad the times, That scorn old Wine. So, brave Wine! Dear old Wine! Morning, noon, and night I'm thine! Whatever may be, I'll stand by thee, Immortal Wine! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A CUP OF TREMBLINGS by JOHN HOLLANDER VINTAGE ABSENCE by JOHN HOLLANDER SENT WITH A BOTTLE OF BURGUNDY FOR A BIRTHDAY by JOHN HOLLANDER TO A CIVIL SERVANT by EDMUND JOHN ARMSTRONG WINE by FRIEDRICH MARTIN VON BODENSTEDT THE GOOD FELLOW by ALEXANDER BROME WHEN A WOMAN LOVES A MAN by DAVID LEHMAN A PETITION TO TIME by BRYAN WALLER PROCTER |
