Softly, ever softly, whisper thou my name <br /> <br />o' thy sweet caress, a potent to my pain <br /> <br />The velvet scent of nightshade full upon thy breath <br /> <br />Kiss me now with longing, o' sweet mistress death <br /> <br />Hold me close unto thee, upon thy loving breast <br /> <br />And let me sleep that sleep eternal <br /> <br />Forever peace and rest<br /><br />James Jarrett<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/nightshade/
