That was a present, and will always be 'present'from 'Eyes'. So....

| O for a draught of vintage! that hath been | |
| Cool'd a long age in the deep-delvèd earth, | |
| Tasting of Flora and the country-green, | |
| Dance, and Provençal song, and sunburnt mirth! | |
| O for a beaker full of the warm South! | 15 |
| Full of the true, the blushful Hippocrene, | |
| With beaded bubbles winking at the brim, | |
| And purple-stainèd mouth; | |
| That I might drink, and leave the world unseen, | |
| And with thee fade away into the forest dim: | 20 |
| |
| Fade far away, dissolve, and quite forget | |
| What thou among the leaves hast never known, | |
| The weariness, the fever, and the fret | |
| Here, where men sit and hear each other groan; | |
| Where palsy shakes a few, sad, last grey hairs, | 25 |
| Where youth grows pale, and spectre-thin, and dies; | |
| Where but to think is to be full of sorrow | |
| And leaden-eyed despairs; | |
| Where beauty cannot keep her lustrous eyes, | |
| Or new Love pine at them beyond to-morrow. | 30 |
