Edna St. Vincent Millay, The Harp-Weaver and Other Poems (New York and London: Harper, 1923): 9. 6th printing. PS 3525 I495H3 Robarts Library.
1I drank at every vine.
2 The last was like the first.
3I came upon no wine
4 So wonderful as thirst.
5I gnawed at every root.
6 I ate of every plant.
7I came upon no fruit
8 So wonderful as want.
9Feed the grape and bean
10 To the vintner and monger;
11I will lie down lean
12 With my thirst and my hunger.
