Poem A Day

Classic poem

TO THE WATER-NYMPHS DRINKING AT THEFOUNTAIN

by Robert Herrick

Reach with your whiter hands to me

Some crystal of the spring;

And I about the cup shall see

Fresh lilies flourishing.

Or else, sweet nymphs, do you but this--

To th' glass your lips incline;

And I shall see by that one kiss

The water turn'd to wine.
