After William Blake

O girl, thou'd be wise
.   To fly away south,
Decline the smooth words
.   In his lying mouth.

He lusts for thy bed
.   Of crimson delight,
And his dark secret love
.   Would thy virtue blight.

[Grateful acknowledgment to William Blake for the inspiration afforded by his poem, "The Sick Rose"]
