In the cruel garrison of affection | |
If worth of lore is true | |
You know the face of a temptress | |
Pit viper | |
A witch or enchantress | |
Pit viper | |
With the malign venom of conceit | |
She tries | |
Civil men | |
Conceal fear | |
Misgivings | |
When night entreats them | |
A greater chill sustains | |
Stains her | |
Darkness | |
Shall not inhibit death blow | |
Know this skin does not restrict her | |
Tear and shed the coil | |
Fall of garland leaves | |
Below the soil |
