| Observe when mother earth is dry | B |
| She drinks the droppings of the sky | B |
| And then the dewy cordial gives | C |
| To every thirsty plant that lives | C |
| The vapors which at evening weep | D |
| Are beverage to the swelling deep | D |
| And when the rosy sun appears | E |
| He drinks the ocean's misty tears | F |
| The moon too quaffs her paly stream | G |
| Of lustre from the solar beam | G |
| Then hence with all your sober thinking | H |
| Since Nature's holy law is drinking | H |
| I'll make the laws of nature mine | I |
| And pledge the universe in wine | I |
