IN the early morning shine	A
Of a certain day divine	A
I beheld a Maiden stand	B
With a pitcher in her hand	B
Whence she poured into a cup	C
Until it was half filled up	C
Nectar that was golden light	D
In the cup of crystal bright	D
	-
And the first who took the cup	C
With pure water filled it up	C
As he drank then it was more	E
Ruddy golden than before	E
And he leapt and danced and sang	F
As to Bacchic cymbals clang	F
	-
But the next who took the cup	C
With the red wine filled it up	C
What he drank then was in hue	G
Of a heavy sombre blue	G
First he reeled and then he crept	H
Then lay faint but never slept	H
	-
And the next who took the cup	C
With the white milk filled it up	C
What he drank at first seemed blood	I
Then turned thick and brown as mud	I
And he moved away as slow	J
As a weary ox may go	J
	-
But the next who took the cup	C
With sweet honey filled it up	C
Nathless that which he did drink	K
Was thin fluid black as ink	K
As he went he stumbled soon	L
And lay still in deathlike swoon	L
	-
She the while without a word	M
Unto all the cup preferred	M
Blandly smiled and sweetly laughed	N
As each mingled his own draught	N
	-
And the next who took the cup	C
To the sunshine held it up	C
Gave it back and did not taste	O
It was empty when replaced	O
First he bowed a reverent bow	P
Then he kissed her on the brow	P
	-
But the next who took the cup	C
Without mixture drank it up	C
When she took it back from him	Q
It was full unto the brim	Q
He with a right bold embrace	R
Kissed her sweet lips face to face	R
	-
Then she sang with blithest cheer	S
Who has thirst come here come here	T
Nectar that is golden light	D
In the cup of crystal bright	D
Nectar that is sunny fire	U
Warm as warmest heart s desire	U
Pitcher never lacketh more	E
Arm is never tired to pour	E
Honey water milk or wine	A
Mingle with the draught divine	A
Drink it pure or drink it not	V
Each is free to choose his lot	V
Am I old or am I cold	W
Only two have kissed me bold	W
	-
She was young and fair and gay	X
As that young and glorious day	X
