Rhyme Scheme: ABCDCEFCGHI JKLDHMNWith a jar of wine I sit by the flowering trees | A |
I drink alone and where are my friends | B |
Ah the moon above looks down on me | C |
I call and lift my cup to his brightness | D |
And see there goes my shadow before me | C |
Ho We're a party of three I say | E |
Though the poor moon can't drink | F |
And my shadow but dances around me | C |
We're all friends to night | G |
The drinker the moon and the shadow | H |
Let our revelry be meet for the spring time | I |

I sing the wild moon wanders the sky | J |
I dance my shadow goes tumbling about | K |
While we're awake let us join in carousal | L |
Only sweet drunkenness shall ever part us | D |
Let us pledge a friendship no mortals know | H |
And often hail each other at evening | M |
Far across the vast and vaporous space | N |
