A Horseshoe Charm, For The Headache
This iron crescent,
Brown and old,
Is worth as much
As virgin gold;
Grasp both ends,
The center hold
Hard to your brow,
Heavy and cold;
Let this healing
Verse be told:

Good metal loosed
From horse's hoof,
Draw from my brain
These nails of pain:
Cast them away,
Rust them away,
Keep them away.
