On an Urn

Richard Garnett (1835–1906)


BOTH thou and I alike, my Bacchic urn,
From clay are sprung, and must to clay return;
But happier fate this day is mine and thine,
For I am full of life, and thou of wine;
Our powers for mutual aid united be,	5
Keep thou me blithe, and flowing I ’ll keep thee.
