“The rose and poppy are her flowers; for where
Is he not found, O Lilith, whom shed scent
And soft-shed kisses and soft sleep shall snare?

Thy spell through him, and left his straight neck bent
And round his heart one strangling golden hair.”

Come whispering by:
War’s annals will cloud into night
Ere their story die.”
