1. My guest has been a host, eminent
In his glory, noble and generous

2. He came to enjoy life's bounty and countryside
While the morning met us, intimate and kind

3. His darkness lifted away gloom
The cup flowed between us, exhilarating

4. Until its sun set, eclipsed
So give me its creation, round and molded

5. Armored with its translucent, crystalline
Like a bride, her dress flowing

6. Containing in it varieties of intoxication
Exalt the vessel, make it elegant

7. While you have been to us gentle and subtle
In the swimmer you think familiar

8. It was a friend in the depth of the pit
Who parted from covers

9. Snatched by a fisherman's trap, caught unawares
And whoever knows it well

10. Will pour into intoxication, enamored
You see the one it tried easily
