Her Strong Enchantments Failing

________________________________________________
Title:     Her Strong Enchantments Failing
Author: A. E. Housman [More Titles by Housman]

Her strong enchantments failing,
Her towers of fear in wreck,
Her limbecks dried of poisons
And the knife at her neck,

The Queen of air and darkness
Begins to shrill and cry,
'O young man, O my slayer,
To-morrow you shall die.'

O Queen of air and darkness,
I think 'tis truth you say,
And I shall die to-morrow;
But you will die to-day.

[The end]
A. E. Housman's poem: Her Strong Enchantments Failing
