SACRIFICE by CAROLINE GILTINAN

First Line: THERE IS NO WINE UNLESS THE GRAPE IS CRUSHED
Last Line: THROUGH SORROW AND THE BODY'S PAIN.
Subject(s): BREAD; DRINKS & DRINKING; PAIN; SACRIFICES; WINE; SUFFERING; MISERY;
There is no wine unless the grape is crushed;
There is no bread while wheat is still in grain.
It may be that the soul can only grow
Through sorrow and the body's pain.
