THE ELIXIR by Emma Lazarus

THE ELIXIR 
by Emma Lazarus


"Oh brew me a potion strong and good!

One golden drop in his wine

Shall charm his sense and fire his blood,

And  bend his will to  mine."


Poor child of passion! ask of me

Elixir of death or sleep,

Or Lethe's stream; but love is free,

And woman must wait and weep.
