First Line: I would drink the shadowed wine
Last Line: I shall not stop to think.
Subject(s): Drinks & Drinking; Wine
I would drink the shadowed wine
And I would have the rue,
I would explore the dark clear pain
That comes with loving you.
But let me rest a little while,
And pause before I drink
For when the cup is to my lips
I shall not stop to think.
