Healing women knew it\u2019s cleansing
\nProperties and they
\nMixed home grown Rue with Spring water
\nTo take a jinx away
\nTo also invite the peaceful
\nVibrations to a place
\nWhere poetry or spells are sought
\nIt\u2019s magic to embrace<\/p>\n
A bag above the front door
\nAvoids the evil eye.
\nIt\u2019s really a good protection herb
\nThe Italians they know why
\nThe sprig of rue or Cimaruta
\nAn amulet of fame
\nRaise the drawbridge
\nBatten down the hatches
\nThe very same<\/p>\n
Another name is Witchbane
\nAnd Pliny long ago
\nReferred the artist with sore eyes
\nTo the RUE for he did know
\nIt\u2019s soothing healing properties
\nWhich could extend one\u2019s sight
\nA herb that exists on poorer soils
\nAnd sand is it\u2019s delight.<\/p>\n
Placed over the third eye
\nPsychic ability may actually
\nImprove a lot with a freedom seemingly
\nAvoid touching the leaves though
\nIt can adversely harm
\nThe sensitive a point to note
\nNo matter how calm
\nCats are far from keen on it
\nThey so dislike it\u2019s smell
\nThere is a Peculiar scent about it
\nAnd probably that\u2019s well
\nThe word stems from the Greek
\nRUEA meaning to free
\nCombating nervous indigestion
\nAs such the remedy
\nChewing the leaves for headache
\nApparently work well
\nSuch an aromatic flavour
\nBut bitter I hear tell<\/p>\n
In times gone by the yokels
\nMight boil the leaves and add
\ntreacle
\nAnd make sweet conserve considered
\nTo be not bad
\nIt is a hardy evergreen
\nIt\u2019s leaves are bluish green
\nGreenish yellow flowers
\nEmerge and from June to September seen<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
