by (1840–1893)

Listen in the reader

Oh, when will it be, oh, when will it be, oh, when That she shall be here, and the flute be here, and the wine be here? oh, then Her lips shall kiss the lips of the flute, and my lips shall kiss the wine, And I shall drink music from her sweet lips, and she shall drink madness from mine.
