Drinking |
| The thirsty earth soaks up the rain |
| And drinks, and gapes for drink again |
| The plants suck in the earth, and are |
| With constant drinking fresh and fair |
| The sea itself, which one would think |
| Should have but little need of drink |
| Drinks ten thousand rivers up |
| So filled that they o’erflow the cup |
| The busy sun and one would guess |
| By’s drunken, fiery face no less |
| Drinks up the sea, and when he’s done |
| The moon and stars drink up the sun |
| They drink and dance by their own light |
| They drink and revel all the night |
| Nothing in nature’s sober found |
| But an eternal health goes round |
| Fill up the bowl, then, fill it high |
| Fill all the glasses there, for why |
| Should every creature drink but I? |
| Why, man of morals, tell me why? |
