About, as if caressing me;

And with a most entrancing pop,

The wine flows forth with gems atop,

Which, sparkling, burst in tiny spray

As if small sprites were there at play.

The dreary drip I cannot see—

I sip my “Clicquot” cozily,

And need no further joy than this,

Together with my meerchaum’s kiss.

The weather’s just as bright for me,
