Come drink of this sweet blood of nature's veins Sup this clear cooling draft up from the well Lift your head up high to the falling rains Let it soak your face, and your tears are grains Of cold stone from whence, or you cast your spell Come drink of this sweet blood of nature's veins Come all ye to where nature leaves it's stains It's thy wish that life begins, people dwell Lift your head up high to the falling rains Where the sweet waters from the rain remains That forms this wishing well, others may tell Come drink of this sweet blood of nature's veins Come to this special place amid life's shames Spend time amidst the trees, there is no hell Lift your head up high to the falling rains Be at peace amid lifes haste and refrains Life's cool flowing water without a veil Come drink of this sweet blood of nature's veins Lift your head up high to the falling rains. |

This little beauty is lost in the workshop... I enjoyed very, very much. "too bad ignorance isn't painful" |

I haven't studied about Villanelles yet, but this does read beautifully! miscellanea |

I agree with Susan. I think this got misplaced among the posts here in the Workshop. It's beautiful. Alison |

Yes, this is not a poetry workshop item. It is more suited for Open. I am transferring it there. |
