Love
Song (My goblet's golden lips are dry)
From Victorian Songs (1895)
Love
My goblet's golden lips are dry,
And, as the rose doth pine
For dew, so doth for wine
My goblet's cup;
Rain, O! rain, or it will die;
Rain, fill it up!
Arise, and get thee wings to-night,
AEtna! and let run o'er
Thy wines, a hill no more,
But darkly frown
A cloud, where eagles dare not soar,
Dropping rain down.
