Pestilence

Title:     Pestilence
Author: Madison Julius Cawein [More Titles by Cawein]

High on a throne of noisome ooze and heat,
'Mid rotting trees of bayou and lagoon,
Ghastly she sits beneath the skeleton moon,
A tawny horror coiling at her feet--
Fever, whose eyes keep watching, serpent-like,
Until her eyes shall bid him rise and strike.

[The end]
Madison Julius Cawein's poem: Pestilence
