Devil Of Temptation

Oh devil of temptation
Cease now your wanton ways
Your niggling hand that tests my will
That bids me go astray

Be gone and do not lure me
The apple to entice
Don’t tantalise, seduce, nor pull
Nor coax with loaded dice

And flame that races through me
Be quenched; be snuffed and die
Let pleasure’s expectation cease
Temptation  now deny!

Apple with a bite taken out of it. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
