Ode 19: Reasons for Drinking
The earth drinks the rain,
And the trees the earth drain:
The sea drinks the breeze,
And the sun drinks the seas.
The moon drinks the sun —
Then why should we shun
Wine, tell me each one!
If I revel at ease,
And drink when I please
Who can blame me? None!
And the trees the earth drain:
The sea drinks the breeze,
And the sun drinks the seas.
The moon drinks the sun —
Then why should we shun
Wine, tell me each one!
If I revel at ease,
And drink when I please
Who can blame me? None!
