Living
On an Urn
From A Victorian Anthology, 1837–1895 (1895)
Living
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,
Keep thou me blithe, and flowing I'll keep thee.
