Prelude
|
|
|
|
Quoth the wine-seller old yesterday
|
|
|
|
To the gard'ner, if the five-days Commerce of the rose behoveth
|
|
|
|
Since that thy blessed shadow On my existence fell
|
|
|
|
Though in ferment, like the wine-jar, For the heart a-fire, am I
|
|
|
|
The Sleep of that seductive eye Of thine is not for nought
|
|
|
|
I'm drunken still with yonder Curled browlock's fragrant air of thine
|
|
|
|
She went and aware of her going Her lovers distraught made not
|
|
|
|
My soul longed sore that my heart's need Should be fulfilled; and 'twas not
|
|
|
|
Once again from myself hath wine ravished me: yea
|
|
|
