BUBBLING WINE, by ABU ZAKARIYYA
First Line: Spilled into the cup
Last Line: The wine's own kin.
Alternate Author Name(s): Abu Zakariya

Spilled into the cup
The wine flames up,
Wreathing it entire
In robes of fire.

Now above the wine
Bright bubbles shine;
Greater wonder eye
May ne'er espy.

See, the wine's aflame;
Yet o'er the same
Dancing hailstones spin,
The wine's own kin.
