Thomas Moore - Come, Send Round the WineThomas Moore - Come, Send Round the Wine
Work rating: Low


Come, send round the wine, and leave points of belief   To simpleton sages and reasoning fools; This moment`s a flower too fair and brief   To be wither`d and stain`d by the dust of the schools. Your glass may be purple, and mine may be blue,   But, while they are fill`d from the same bright bowl, The fool who would quarrel for difference of hue,   Deserves not the comfort they shed o`er the soul. Shall I ask the brave soldier, who fights by my side   In the cause of mankind, if our creeds agree? Shall I give up the friend I have valued and tried,   If he kneel not before the same altar with me? From the heretic girl of my soul should I fly?   To seek somewhere else a more orthodox kiss? No, perish the hearts, and the laws that try   Truth, valour, or love, by a standard like this!
