Versos English Edward Dowden Vi

English poem

Vi

by

Listen in the reader

Nay, more! yet more, for my lips are fain; No cups for a babe; I ask the whole Deep draught that a God could hardly drain, --Wine of your soul.

Pour! for the goblet is great I bring, Not worthless, rough with youths at strife, And men that toil and women that sing, --It is all my life.
