AtroposHenry Wadsworth Longfellow

Atropos

Tempt no more the noble schemer;

Bear unto some idle dreamer

This new toy and fascination,

This new dalliance and delight!

To the garden where reposes

Epimetheus crowned with roses,

To the door that never closes

Upon pleasure and temptation,

Bring this vision of the night!
