The Wish for a Chaplet

  Vineleaf and rose I would my chaplet make:
  I would my word were wine for all men's sake.
  Pure from the pressing of the stainless feet
  Of unblamed Hours, and for an altar meet.

  Vineleaf and rose: I would, had I the art,
  Distil, to lasting sweet, Joy's rosy heart,
  That no sere autumn should its fragrance wrong,
  Closed in the crystal glass of slender song.
