Date: 1842 Location: New York Type: document Subjects: sheet music, lyrics, musical notes Text visible in image: No more the spell of rosy wine Enchants the human soul; A purer draught, a gift divine, Now mantles in the bowl; A draught to cheer and nourish life, To heal all earthly woes; And free for all mankind to quaff From nature's bosom flows.

CHORUS Then drink the draught to cheer the soul From chrystal streamlets clear; Away away the madd'ning bowl No longer tempts us here.

3 The fountain's in the sun's bright beams Their dazzling gems display; And countless are the silver streams That wend their silent way: Rich gifts are these of Heav'n divine From which each blessing flows; Imparting to the cheek of health The bloom they give the rose.

CHORUS Then drink the draught that cheers the soul From chrystal streamlets clear; Away away the madd'ning bowl No longer tempts us here.
