THE WINE OF LOVE . .. I will walk by the shore of Loch Lein when the midday spell Lies flat on the looking-glass, where Tomies' purple peak Stands still on his head, like a clown at a fair ; and the cackle and shriek Of the blackbird in nesting-time is echoed from elm and ash. . . . I will watch where the wild drake rises with quack and splash From the reedy places that hide the desire of the heart ; 96 MODERN ANGLO-IRISH VERSE And it's not alone I will be when the furzes part, And your hand is... in mine. O wine of my life ! it is not of these I will think ; for my eyes will be filled with the sally-trees In their young sweet grace, when their limbs in the sunlight shine As if they were steeped for an age in enchanted wine. It is this I will think, that if one should be going that way Who was sober, not being in love, he would pass and say, It is not a man I saw by the shore of Loch Lein, But a sally-tree that is dyed with the purple stain That comes over the minds of men who are drunk with the wine of love.
