As o'er the glacier's frozen sheet	A
Breathes soft the Alpine rose	B
So through life's desert springing sweet	A
The flower of friendship grows	B
And as where'er the roses grow	C
Some rain or dew descends	D
'T is nature's law that wine should flow	C
To wet the lips of friends	D
Then once again before we part	E
My empty glass shall ring	F
And he that has the warmest heart	E
Shall loudest laugh and sing	F
	-
They say we were not born to eat	A
But gray haired sages think	G
It means Be moderate in your meat	A
And partly live to drink	G
For baser tribes the rivers flow	C
That know not wine or song	H
Man wants but little drink below	C
But wants that little strong	H
Then once again etc	I
	-
If one bright drop is like the gem	J
That decks a monarch's crown	K
One goblet holds a diadem	J
Of rubies melted down	K
A fig for Caesar's blazing brow	L
But like the Egyptian queen	M
Bid each dissolving jewel glow	C
My thirsty lips between	M
Then once again etc	I
	-
The Grecian's mound the Roman's urn	N
Are silent when we call	O
Yet still the purple grapes return	N
To cluster on the wall	O
It was a bright Immortal's head	P
They circled with the vine	Q
And o'er their best and bravest dead	P
They poured the dark red wine	Q
Then once again etc	I
	-
Methinks o'er every sparkling glass	R
Young Eros waves his wings	S
And echoes o'er its dimples pass	R
From dead Anacreon's strings	S
And tossing round its beaded brim	T
Their locks of floating gold	U
With bacchant dance and choral hymn	T
Return the nymphs of old	U
Then once again etc	I
	-
A welcome then to joy and mirth	V
From hearts as fresh as ours	W
To scatter o'er the dust of earth	V
Their sweetly mingled flowers	W
'T is Wisdom's self the cup that fills	X
In spite of Folly's frown	K
And Nature from her vine clad hills	X
That rains her life blood down	K
Then once again before we part	E
My empty glass shall ring	F
And he that has the warmest heart	E
Shall loudest laugh and sing	F
