    sylvia plath'in daha toy çağında yazdığı bir vilanelle, sonraki şiirlerine pek benzemez, daha bir açıktır anlatımı.

    never try to trick me with a kiss
    pretending that the birds are here to stay;
    the dying man will scoff and scorn at this.

    a stone can masquerade where no heart is
    and virgins rise where lustful venus lay:
    never try to trick me with a kiss.

    our noble doctor claims the pain is his,
    while stricken patients let him have his say;
    the dying man will scoff and scorn at this.

    each virile bachelor dreads paralysis,
    the old maid in the gable cries all day:
    never try to trick me with a kiss.

    the suave eternal serpents promise bliss
    to mortal children longing to be gay;
    the dying man will scoff and scorn at this.

    sooner or later something goes amiss;
    the singing birds pack up and fly away;
    so never try to trick me with a kiss:
    the dying man will scoff and scorn at this.
