¶Lyrics / Text

The thirsty earth soaks up the Rain, And drinks, and gapes for drink again. The plants suck in the earth, and are With constant drinking fresh and fair. The sea itself, which one would think Should have but little need of drink, Drinks ten thousand rivers up, So fill’d that they o’erflow the Cup. The busie sun (and one would guess By’s drunken fiery face no less) Drinks up the sea, and when h’as done, The moon and stars drink up the sun. They drink and dance by their own light, They drink and revel all the night. Nothing in Nature’s sober found, But an eternal "Health" goes round. Fill up the bowl then, fill it high, Fill all the glasses there, for why Should every creature drink but I, Why, man of morals, tell me why?
