Johnny Cash - Drink To Me Only With Thine Eyes lyrics

Drink to me only with thine eyes
And I will pledge with mine.
Or leave a kiss within the cup
And I'll not ask for wine.
The thirst that from the soul doth rise
Doth ask a drink divine;
But might I of Jove's nectar sip,
I would not change for thine.

I sent thee late a rosy wreath, Johnny Cash - Drink To Me Only With Thine Eyes - http://motolyrics.com/johnny-cash/drink-to-me-only-with-thine-eyes-lyrics.html
Not so much hon'ring thee

As giving it a hope that there
It could not withered be;
But thou thereon did'st only breathe,
And sent'st it back to me,
Since when it grows and smells, I swear
Not of itself, but thee.

*repeat first verse
