Love
The Wine
From Flame and Shadow (1920)
Love
I cannot die, who drank delight
From the cup of the crescent moon,
And hungrily as men eat bread,
Loved the scented nights of June.
The rest may die--but is there not
Some shining strange escape for me
Who sought in Beauty the bright wine
Of immortality?
