Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEDE FGFG| This is not water running here | A |
| These thick rebellious streams | B |
| That hurtle flesh and bone past fear | C |
| Down alleyways of dreams | B |

| This is a wine that must flow on | D |
| Not caring how or where | E |
| So it has ways to flow upon | D |
| Where song is in the air | E |

| So it can woo an artful flute | F |
| With loose elastic lips | G |

| With blithe ecstatic hips | G |
