LE VIN DES AMANTS 
 
SPACE is glorious to-day !   
Throw bridle, bit, and spurs away !   
Let us seek, astride of Wine, 
A Heaven faery and divine !   
 
Like twin angels in dismay, 
Smit by Godhead’s blistering ray, 
Where dawn lurks blue and crystalline, 
Seek the mirage in the shrine !   
 
Softly poised upon the wing 
Of the whirlwind let us ride, 
With its madness sway and swing, 
Sister, swimming side by side ;   
Onward through the starry streams 
Toward the Heaven of my dreams !
