Mandragora
Pour me red wine from out the Venice flask,
— — Pour faster, faster yet!
The joy of ruby thought I do not ask,
Bid me forget!
Breathe slumbrous music round me, sweet and slow,
— — To honied phrases set!
Into the land of dreams I long to go.
Bid me forget!
Lay not the rose's bloom against my cheek,
— — With chill tears she is wet.
The wrinkled poppy is the flower I seek.
Bid me forget!
Where is delight? and what are pleasures now? —
— — Moths that a garment fret.
The world is turned memorial, crying, " Thou
Shalt not forget! "
— — Pour faster, faster yet!
The joy of ruby thought I do not ask,
Bid me forget!
Breathe slumbrous music round me, sweet and slow,
— — To honied phrases set!
Into the land of dreams I long to go.
Bid me forget!
Lay not the rose's bloom against my cheek,
— — With chill tears she is wet.
The wrinkled poppy is the flower I seek.
Bid me forget!
Where is delight? and what are pleasures now? —
— — Moths that a garment fret.
The world is turned memorial, crying, " Thou
Shalt not forget! "
