I love Wine! Bold bright Wine! That biddeth the manly Spirit shine! Others may care For water fare; But give @3me@1—Wine! Ancient Wine! Brave old Wine! How it around the heart doth twine! Poets may love The stars above; But @3I@1 love—Wine. 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...THE WILL OF GOD by FREDERICK WILLIAM FABER MOTHER O' MINE by RUDYARD KIPLING UPON HIS PICTURE by THOMAS RANDOLPH A PRAYER by EDWARD ROWLAND SILL MEADOW-SAFFRON by GUILLAUME APOLLINAIRE THREE THINGS by JOSEPH AUSLANDER A HINT FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE THIRD SATIRE OF JUVENAL by PHILIP AYRES |
