Poem 14 (J 132-J 133: 1830-1886)

1:
I bring an unaccustomed wine
2:
To lips long parching
To lips long parching
To lips long parching , next to mine,
To lips long parching , next to mine,
3:
Next to mine,
Next to mine,
4:
And summon them to drink ;
And summon them to drink ;
And summon them to drink .
And summon them to drink .
5:
Crackling with fever, they Essay ,
Crackling with fever, they Essay ,
Crackling with fever, they essay ;
Crackling with fever, they essay ;
6:
I turn my brimming Eyes away,
I turn my brimming eyes away,
I turn my brimming eyes away,
I turn my brimming eyes away,
7:
And come next hour to look.
8:
The hands still hug the tardy glass —
The hands still hug the tardy glass —
The hands still hug the tardy glass ;
The hands still hug the tardy glass ;
9:
The lips I w'd have cooled, Alas —
The lips I would have cooled, alas —
The lips I would have cooled, alas !
The lips I would have cooled, alas !
10:
Are so superfluous Cold .
Are so superfluous Cold —
Are so superfluous cold ,
Are so superfluous cold ,
11:
I w'd as soon attempt to warm
I would as soon attempt to warm
I would as soon attempt to warm
I would as soon attempt to warm
12:
The bosoms where the frost has lain
13:
Ages beneath the mould —
Ages beneath the mould —
Ages beneath the mould .
Ages beneath the mould .
14:
Some other thirsty there may be
15:
To whom this w'd have pointed me
To whom this would have pointed me
To whom this would have pointed me
To whom this would have pointed me
16:
Had it remained to speak —
Had it remained to speak —
Had it remained to speak .
Had it remained to speak .
17:
And so I always bear the cup
18:
If, haply, mine may be the drop
19:
Some pilgrim thirst to slake —
Some pilgrim thirst to slake —
Some pilgrim thirst to slake ,—
Some pilgrim thirst to slake ,—
20:
If, haply, any say to me
If, haply, any say to me
If, haply, any say to me ,
If, haply, any say to me ,
21:
Unto the little, unto me,
22:
When I at last awake.
