Falling Ill

A mocking, a knocking, a rock at the sill

I untilled out the fill like mill undistilled

A swoon not too soon- at the moon's right prevail

A pail-friend, a trail end, and a heartfull of ale

A whiting, a blighting, a light-hollow place

Undisgraced I defaced the lying lier's place

A sweat-vine, a death mine, a whetted time, my beau!

In the shallow grave's hallowing, comforting bow

A mocking, a knocking, a rose on the sill

I lay his arm over me an pray I fall ill
