Not Before. Poem by Emmanuel George Cefai

Not Before.

Not before.

No, not before will you of food partake and
Drink.

First the verses, first you must sing.

This by Orpheus's orders not just the Muse.

And then in rise of verse and song
Seasons and things shall dance and spring
In drunken ecstasy of Beauty surfeited.
