I taste a liquor never brewed- by Emily Dickinson

• I TASTE a liquor never brewed,
• From tankards scooped in pearl;
• Not all the vats upon the Rhine
• Yield such an alcohol!
• Inebriate of air am I,
• And debauchee of dew,
• Reeling, through endless summer days,
• From inns of molten blue.
• When landlords turn the drunken bee
• Out of the foxglove’s door,
• When butterflies renounce their drams,
• I shall but drink the more!
• Till seraphs swing their snowy hats,
• And saints to windows run,
• To see the little tippler
• Leaning against the sun!
