Bacchus

O Wine
Gracious Wine!
Come with your honey-voiced Venus
and spend another night with me, Bacchus,
around the blaze of the corroboree
where the kookaburra laughs by
the Never-Never and the Murrumbridgee
when through the old gum-trees the bunyip passes by!
O Wine!
Madness of Wine!
by P. Amabile
