Amethyst jewel of spring—
Deaf to your chimes of enticement—
But tempted by your beauty—
I taste your nectar—
And bind my words with your sap.
Your poison invades—
My eyes close as I dance the Pavane—
Alone.
"Shall glad your heart, shall give you hope, Shall give you health, and help, and hope, My Dark Rosaleen!" J.C.Mangan
