A BACCHlC ODE.

BY J. BAYARD TAYLOR.
Wine ing wine !
Let the crystal beaker flame and shine,
Bnmming DER with the draught divinel
The crimson gov
Oi the Lifted cup on my forehead throw,
Like the sunsets flush field of snow!
/ burn to lave
My eager lip in The purple wave:
Freedom bringeth the wine so brave
The world is cold
Sorrow and pain have gloomy hold,
Chilling the bosom warm and bold.
Doubts and fears
Veil the shine of my morning years
My LIES lone rainbow springs from tears
But Eden CLEANS
Visit my soul in immortal dreams,
When the wave of the goblet burns and Deans
Not from the Rhine.
Not from the fields of BuTgundian vine,
Bring me the Oympian wine
Not with a ray
Born where the wines of Shiraz play,
Or the fiery blood OF the ripe Tokay
Not where the gee
OF Faernian vintage echoes free,
Or the Chan gardens gem the sea!
But wine bring wine,
Flushing high with its growth divine,
In the crystal depth OF my soul to shine
Whose glow was caught
From the warmth which Fancy's summer brought
TO the vintage-tields in the band of Thought!
Rich and free
To my thirstng soul will the goblet be,
Poured by the Hebe POesy.
