Let the meeting of yes
and never, bear and bottle,
stone and noon
be merry with wine
and wholly underwater,

of a fresh gale
and a good deal.
Great was the shout of guns,
the rattling of guns.
Smoke came,
the captains came.
I wrote to my wife,

drinking wine in the park
the dog dancing as I look
over the paper
in many hands

of great use
and small trouble
dark and light

is the only tune.
Nothing passes without time—
no days,
no wine.
A borrowed voyage:
we dine and talk
and the wine is
excellent company.

to wear anything
the wonder
in a drop of wine
full of daylight after
