Punch Song

 Four elements, joined in
Harmonious strife,
Shadow the world forth,
And typify life.


Into the goblet
The lemon's juice pour;
Acid is ever
Life's innermost core.


Now, with the sugar's
All-softening juice,
The strength of the acid
So burning reduce.


The bright sparkling water
Now pour in the bowl;
Water all-gently
Encircles the whole.


Let drops of the spirit
To join them now flow;
Life to the living
Naught else can bestow.


Drain it off quickly
Before it exhales;
Save when 'tis glowing,
The draught naught avails.
