Drinking Song
| Beggar's Song written by William Henry Davies |
| From "True Travellers", 1923 | Link to further information |
Ah, Life, we are no sooner dressed
Than we must strip:
Come, Bacchus, then, you wondrous boy,
You god of laughter, peace and rest,
With friendship smiling on your lip -
There's nothing in this world can move
Us like good wine and love.
