NATURE'S DRINKING-SONG by PIERRE DE RONSARD

First Line: THE EARTH DRINKS RAIN THROUGH EVERY PORE
Last Line: COME LET US DRINK, DRINK, DRINK!
Subject(s): DRINKS & DRINKING; EARTH; MOON; NATURE; SINGING & SINGERS; WINE; WORLD;

THE earth drinks rain through every pore,
Through every root the tree,
The sea drinks rivers evermore,
The sun drinks up the sea,

The moon drinks up the sun his light,
All things in nature drink.
Since drinking is the common right
Come let us drink, drink, drink!
