Smoke Not.

Smoke not! smoke not your weeds nor pipes of clay,

Cigars are made from leaves of cauliflowers;

Things that are doomed no duty e’er to pay,

Grown, made, and smoked in a few short hours.

Smoke not! smoke not!

Smoke not! smoke not! the weed you smoke may change,

The healthiness of your stomachic tone;

Things to the eye grow queer, and passing strange,

All thought seems undefined—save one—to be alone.
