FROST IN THE AIR
  Winter put his shoulder    To our door,  Nights are turning colder    More and more;  We are old—or older    Than before.
Poppied sleep and honeyed breathAre an antidote for death.
  If your fingers tingle    Hold them here:  Doom has drawn a single    Circle clear;  Lean to me and mingle    Fear with fear. . . .
Poppied sleep and honeyed breathAre an antidote for death.
