Feast

A. Bliss

I drank from ev'ry vine.

The last was like the first.

I came upon no wine

So wonderful as thirst.

I gnawed at ev'ry root.

I ate of ev'ry plant.

I came upon no fruit

So wonderful as want.

Feed the grape and bean to

the vintner and monger,

I will lie down lean with

my thirst and my hunger.
