The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1900-12-02

A STIRRUF CUP.
December,s beard is thin and white
His knotted fingers frore-
He rides from Yesterdays land,
Yet hount him not with passing bells
To fens of Nevermore.
For all his days are few.
CT wine and myrrh and rue;
Rich wine to warm his chilling heart
With garnered summers gold
Fine nyrrh to heal his jagged wounds
And keep his spirit bold;
And rue-all! bitter herb of grace
faint not the chalice rim
though YOU must spice our stirrup cups
Till all the worlds are dim.
From Yesterday to Nevermore
The road runs drear
The wan old greybeard may not halt
Where lights shine bright and clear.
Yet flout him not with passing bells
Though all his days are few
Fill him, instead, a Stirrup cup
OF wine and myrrh and rue
