Sometimes with a lack of wind
The drawing starts, the toasts begin.
Feeling fine, feeling able,
Lower cup beneath the table,
Raise to mouth bright and sunny,
Make a toast!
(Or pray for money!)

Spoiler for Answer and explication for this quickie

Standard hand dug wells used a windlass (breezy gal) to draw water up in a bucket (cup) from the dark interior to the mouth of the well. The water in the well sits below the water table. One would either drink from the well (make a toast) or perhaps make a wish (pray) by tossing in money!
