• This song of mine
  Is a song of the vine
  To be sung by the glowing embers
  Of wayside inns,
  When the rain begins
  To darken the drear Novembers. and
  For the richest and best
  Is the wind of the West
  That grows by the Beautiful River;
  Whose sweet perfume
  Fills all the room
  With a bension on the giver. and
  When you ask one friend to dine,
  Give hime your best wine!
  When you ask two,
  The second best will do.

  Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

  Beautiful, Song, Sweet
