Greetings, magic essence
Greetings, the Verb of liqueurs !
Spirit of the mystic torch
Steel hardener for the hearts
Grass of the flesh! Right of the soul
Your nourishing stream flows
You, are you not the flame
When wine is only the blood ?
O. Fere and J. Cuvain "Absinthe song", tr. P. Schaf
Post dedykowany Mademoiselle Emnildzie.
