A Drinking Song
Wine comes in at the mouth
And love comes in at the eye;
That’s all we shall know for truth
Before we grow old and die.
I lift the glass to my mouth,
I look at you, and I sigh.
William Butler Yeats, "A Drinking Song" from Responsibilities and Other Poems. New York: The Macmillan Company, 1916. Public Domain.
