(As pessimist people are thinking),
To induce pleasant dreams there is nothing, meseems,
Like this sweet prescription,
That baffles description--
This drinking,
and drinking,
and drinking.
(A Rhine-land Drinking Song)

That I might save
Him from the grave
I'd give my life, and give it gladly!

No answering word to him gave she,
But looked, and then sunk back again
Into the dark and depthless sea.
