Beyond yon roof, of sod and thatch Beyond yon door, of wood and latch Beyond the reach of man's morals Beyond yon hedge of thicket Laurels Dwells a creature in forest veil Dwells one, that lives, beyond the pale Dwells, who takes victims with care Dwells, who with, blank eye does stare Watch, it does, from beneath the moon Watch, it does, from shadows bestrewn Watch, it has intent to bespell Watch and feel its brace impel Whilst, I hold, dreams sempiternal Whilst, I invite, days be final Whilst, I take last, sweet breath Whilst, I embrace my lover....Death

Embracing Death
Beyond yon roof, of sod and thatch Beyond yon door, of wood and latch Beyond the reach of man's morals Beyond yon hedge of thicket Laurels Dwells a creature in forest veil Dwells one, that lives, beyond the pale Dwells, who takes victims with care Dwells, who with, blank eye does stare Watch, it does, from beneath the moon Watch, it does, from shadows bestrewn Watch, it has intent to bespell Watch and feel its brace impel Whilst, I hold, dreams sempiternal Whilst, I invite, days be final Whilst, I take last, sweet breath Whilst, I embrace my lover....Death
