And the snows of age are going;

Quaff it with a hearty will,

Quaff it deep and quaff forever;

Wine will every sorrow kill,

And destroy the pleasures never.

When the heart beats sad and low,

Drink its gladness like a river;

When the soul is weak with woe,

Quaff and be a cheerful liver;

Never, never, life, despair,
