Song Of Sardanapalus Poem by Hume Nisbet
Song Of Sardanapalus
I
'WHAT am I? a God or Man?
Man is God when great and rich —
God is man when in the ditch.
Ho, there! servers, fill each can!
2
'Drink! we live and so must die.
Love while we have power to love.
What care we who reigns above,
If we on the roses lie.
3
'Drink! and soak your hearts with wine.
Laugh, thus drive back haunting care.
While ye can think woman fair,
Ye are Gods, and all divine.'
