The Wine by Sara Teasdale
Performed by
Sara TeasdaleThe Wine Annotated
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?
