Pleasure First

by William Troup

For pleasure first, the anodynes break this deadened heart; now pastures sleep! Anew in pleasure, no queries beset this addled mind; aloft in peace! Regaling pleasure, this mumbling pride, to fleeting ears; I'm all but sleep! For pleasure first, the anodynes break the deadened soul; and what of sleep?
