Pour the wine! pour the wine!

Pour the wine! pour the wine!
As it changes to foam,
So flashes the day-god
Rushing abroad,
Every new & unlooked for,
In furthest & smallest
Comes royally home.
In spider wise
Will again geometrize,
Will in bee & gnat keep time
With the annual solar chime;
Aphides like emperors
Sprawl & play their pair of hours

For Fancys gift
Can mountains lift;
The Muse can knit
What is past & what is done
With the web that's just begun,
Making free with time & size,
Dwindles here, there magnifies
Swells a rain-drop to a tun;
So to repeat
No word or feat,
Crowds in a day the sum of ages,
And blushing Love outwits the sages.
