Atropos

ATROPOS, dread

One of the Three,

Holding the thread

Woven for me;

Grimly thy shears,

Steely and bright,

Menace the years

Left for delight.

Grant it may chance,

Just as they close,

June may entrance

Earth with the rose;

Reigning as though,

Bliss to the breath,

Endless and no

Whisper of death.
