Come, fill the Cup, and in the fire of Spring

Thy Winter-garment of repentance fling
The Bird of Time has but a little way to flutter
And Lo! The bird is on the wing

Moving finger writes, and, having writ, moves on
Nor all your piety nor wit can bring it back
To cancel half a line, nor all your tears
Wash out a word of it

Into this universe, and why not knowing
Nor whence, like water willy-nilly flowing
Nor out of it like wind along the waste
I know not whither willy-nilly blowing

Here with a book of verse, beneath the bough
A jug of wine, a loaf of bread, and thou
Beside me, singing in the Wilderness
Ah, Wilderness! Paradise enow!
