A DEAD LOCUST by ARISTODICUS

First Line: WHERE ALCIS KEEPS HER STATE, SHRILL GRASSHOPPER
Last Line: THE DEW-RICH FLOWERS OF GOLD PERSEPHONE.
Subject(s): LOCUSTS;
WHERE Alcis keeps her state, shrill grasshopper,
no more shall sun invest thy tiny glee.
Now only Pluto hears thy music stir
the dew-rich flowers of gold Persephone.
