While breath still warms the cage of bone, drink deep,
drink deep the draught, dear heart, and steep
your thirst in life's sweet, heady wine.
For when the songbird soul takes flight,
who then will sing "Drink, drink, divine"?
While breath still warms the cage of bone, drink deep.

The rose, in blush of dawn, is fairest still.
The rose, in blush of dawn, fulfills
the promise whispered on the breeze.
And those who love, in truth, are drunk with grace,
while those who know it not, find no ease.
While breath still warms the cage of bone, drink deep.

First, it ignites the heart's fierce, hidden fire.
First, it ignites the heart's desire,
a fever in the blood that burns.
Then, it quenches thirst, a balm applied,
as the crimson spirit softly turns.
While breath still warms the cage of bone, drink deep.
For when the songbird soul takes flight,
who then will sing "Drink, drink, divine"?
