Poem by John Heath-Stubbs
Charm Against The Toothache by Permission of John Heath Stubbs Estate
Music by D W Solomons

lyrics

Venerable Mother Toothache
Climb down from your white battlements,
Stop twisting in your yellow fingers
The fourfold rope of nerves;

And tomorrow I will give you a tot of whiskey
To hold in your cupped hands,
A garland of anise flowers,
And three cloves like nails.

And tell the attendant gnomes
It is time to knock off now,
To shoulder their little pick-axes,
Their cold-chisels and drills.

And you may mount by a silver ladder
Into the sky, to grind
In the cracked polished mortar
Of the hollow moon.


By the lapse of warm [waters],
And the poppies nodding like red coals,
The paths on the granite mountains,
And the plantation of my dreams.
