THE WINE OF LIFE
When Love offers Thee his wine Ne'er mistrust Its purple shine; Quaff it boldly, Drink it up, Life's best nectar's In the cup.
Doubts are traitors, Fears are foes; They will bring thee Naught but woes: Love's of life The very breath, Want of Love Is life-in-death.
Ever say A thankful grace When thou see'st A lovely face; When she sings A song divine Adore as at A holy shrine.
