Winter put his shoulder
To our door,
Nights are turning colder
More and more;
We are old–or older
Than before.
Poppied sleep and honeyed breath
Are an antidote for death.
If your fingers tingle
Hold them here:
Doom has drawn a single
Circle clear;
Lean to me and mingle
Fear with fear....
Poppied sleep and honeyed breath
Are an antidote for death.
