Most beautiful of poisons, br border-plant, br wearing your small green cowl, br little friar, little murderer, br aconitine flows br from your roots br to your deep purple flowers, br small deceiver, br centerpiece br for a poisonous br feast. br br A few leaves br in the salad, br a few seeds br in the soup, br a thick root br to flavor br the stock- br & it is all over. br br Let the lover beware br who buys you br for love philters. br The dose is deceptive. br One pinch leads to passion br but two will surely lead br to death. br br Yet you twinkle br little blue bell br at the edge br of the garden, br wearing no warning br about your slim green neck. br br Wolfsbane, Friar's cap, br Chariot of Venus- br br how many may claim br to be poisonous br head to toe? br br That honor- br Friar Death- br belongs to you.
