Explore "Drinking-Song" by Ellen Glasgow on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Fill the bowl and praise the wine, / Give good measure, rise and quaff -- / (Who dares say the dawn-stars shine? / Brothers, shame him by a laugh.) / What knows he of soon or late, / Who has been the fool of Fate?
Kiss the blue eyes and the brown, / Cheeks that pale and cheeks that glow, / Kiss the smile and kiss the frown, / Lightly love and lightly go. / He knows neither love nor hate, / Who has been the fool of Fate.
