< < < The grave my little cottage is

The heart asks pleasure first


< < < The grave my little cottage is
The Hemlock > > >

The heart asks pleasure first,

And then, excuse from pain;

And then, those little anodynes

That deaden suffering;

And then, to go to sleep;

And then, if it should be

The will of its Inquisitor,

The liberty to die.
