ACHERONTIC CHILL, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Now starlings nibble the red rowanberry
Last Line: That bears me over to frore silences.
Alternate Author Name(s): Liliencron, Detlev Von


Now starlings nibble the red rowanberry,
and harvest viols summon lustiness;
oh, wait, soon autumn with her shears will harry
the forests till they stand in shorn distress;
then in the woods plucked penury will tarry,
through naked boughs a little stream will press
and drowsily drive toward my shore the ferry
that bears me over to frore silences.
