Poured from the palm of a girl dressed as boy
An intrigue for one of any orientation
She lifts the carafe against the black night
Her face lit with brilliant radiation
Sending from the jug’s lip a stream so bright
That eyes, in its glare, close as in sedation
Wine so fine, so pure and delicate
To add water would be contamination
With light alone may it be mixed
Giving off dazzling illumination
