LIFE-LUST
My mouth—the mouth of my whole being watersFor all the fruit upon the lap of Life;The luscious fruit of Life, (delicious fruit,All running over with the juice of joy.)Life seems a banquet and my gourmand sensesWould gorge themselves with all good things thereof.My taste, my touch, my smell, my sight, my hearingWould drink the seasoned vintages of Life,And relish all Life’s rarest fruits and viands.Content to go whene’er the feast is overContent, the feast was not prepared in vain.
