To Our Lady Nicotine

Title:     To Our Lady Nicotine
Author: Oliver Herford [More Titles by Herford]

Here's to Lady Nicotine!
Saint and Sorceress and Queen!
Saint, whose purple halo rings
Lift our eyes from earthly things;
Witch, whose wand of scented briar
Transmutes dead weeds to fragrant fire;
Queen, whose rod her slaves adore!
What can freedom offer more?

[The end]
Oliver Herford's poem: To Our Lady Nicotine
