Song. Love, Like Cordial Wine
Love, like cordial wine,
Pouring his soul in mine,
Bids me to sing;
Youth’s bright glory snatch,
And Time’s paces match
With fearless wing.
Now, while breath is bliss,
And dawn wakes me with a kiss,
Ere this rapture flee,
Ere my heart thou claim,
Sorrow, I will aim
A shaft at thee.
