The Seventh Evening

SUCCESS

Come, drain the cup held to our lips at last,

Though it may yield the briny taste of tears,

For this we have foregone our joy of youth,

For this we have lived bitter, patient years ...

What tang does brew of fig and thistle keep?

Let us drink deep!

Oh, shudder not ... the goblet is of gold!

For this we bent our knee at a grim shrine

While others danced to kind and merry gods!

For this we put aside life’s choicest wine,

To slake our still unsated thirst lift up

This sacramental cup!
