| THOU hast fill’d me a golden cup | |
| With a drink divine that glows, | |
| With the bloom that is flowing up | |
| From the heart of the folded rose. | |
| The grapes in their amber glow, | 5 |
| And the strength of the blood-red wine, | |
| All mingle and change and flow | |
| In this golden cup of thine, | |
| With the scent of the curling vine, | |
| With the balm of the rose’s breath,— | 10 |
| For the voice of love is thine, | |
| And thine is the Song of Death! | |
