Lines on Ale

by Edgar Allan Poe · (no date)
Published 01/07/1880

Fill with mingled cream and amber

      I will drain that glass again.

Such hilarious visions clamber

      Through the chamber of my brain -

Quaintest thoughts - queerest fancies

      Come to life and fade away;

What care I how time advances?

      I am drinking ale today.
