To the Water Nymphs Drinking At the Fountain

by Robert Herrick, 1648

Reach, with your whiter hands, to me
  Some crystal of the spring;
And I about the cup shall see
  Fresh lilies flourishing.

Or else, sweet nymphs, do you but this,
  To th’ glass your lips incline;
And I shall see by that one kiss
  The water turn’d to wine.
