My husband and I are celebrating our anniversary soon and are taking a vacation to a romantic, special spot. I am looking for an Irish love poem to personalize some glasses that I will put in a gift basket with snacks, wine, candles, etc. I can have up to six lines of text.

The famous Irish tenor John McCormack sang this song
written by an English poet Ben Johnson

"Drink to me, only, with thine eyes,
And I will pledge with mine ;
Or leave a kiss but in the cup,
And I'll not look for wine."

or

Wine comes in at the mouth
And love comes in at the eye;
That's all we shall know for truth
Before we grow old and die.

William Butler Yeats 1865 - 1939

I'm only a beer teetotaler, not a champagne teetotaler. I don't like beer.
