Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFCCGGHH IIJJCCKKLMNN| Ripened by the solar beam | A |
| Now the ruddy clusters teem | A |
| In osier baskets borne along | B |
| By all the festal vintage throng | B |
| Of rosy youths and virgins fair | C |
| Ripe as the melting fruits they bear | C |
| Now now they press the pregnant grapes | D |
| And now the captive stream escapes | D |
| In fervid tide of nectar gushing | E |
| And for its bondage proudly blushing | E |
| While round the vat's impurpled brim | F |
| The choral song the vintage hymn | F |
| Of rosy youths and virgins fair | C |
| Steals on the charmed and echoing air | C |
| Mark how they drink with all their eyes | G |
| The orient tide that sparkling flies | G |
| The infant Bacchus born in mirth | H |
| While Love stands by to hail the birth | H |
| - | |
| When he whose verging years decline | I |
| As deep into the vale as mine | I |
| When he inhales the vintage cup | J |
| His feet new winged from earth spring up | J |
| And as he dances the fresh air | C |
| Plays whispering through his silvery hair | C |
| Meanwhile young groups whom love invites | K |
| To joys even rivalling wine's delights | K |
| Seek arm in arm the shadowy grove | L |
| And there in words and looks of love | M |
| Such as fond lovers look and say | N |
| Pass the sweet moonlight hours away | N |
