| 799. The Vine |
| |
| THE wine of Love is music, | |
| And the feast of Love is song: | |
| And when Love sits down to the banquet, | |
| Love sits long: | |
| |
| Sits long and arises drunken, | 5 |
| But not with the feast and the wine; | |
| He reeleth with his own heart, | |
| That great, rich Vine. | |
