The Wine
by Sara Teasdale


I cannot die, who drank delight
     From the cup of the crescent moon,
And hungrily as men eat bread,
     Loved the scented nights of June.

The rest may die -- but is there not
     Some shining strange escape for me
Who sought in Beauty the bright wine
     Of immortality?
