William B. Yeats

A Drinking Song

Wine comes in at the mouth
And love comes in at the eye;
That's all we shall know for truth
Before we grow old and die.
I lift the glass to my mouth,
I look at you, and I sigh.

Oh - you should - it is VERY romantic. Really sets the mood. Of course, perhaps not so much drinking poems - but those set a mood as well.
