Finding is the first Act
The second, loss,
Third, Expedition for the "Golden Fleece"
Fourth, no Discovery -
Fifth, no Crew -
Finally, no Golden Fleece -
Jason, sham, too.
Flowers - Well - if anybody
Can the extasy define -
Half a transport - half a trouble -
With which flowers humble men:
Anybody find the fountain
From which floods so contra flow -
I will give him all ...
For every Bird a nest -
Wherefore in timid quest
Some little Wren goes seeking round -
Wherefore when boughs are free,
Households in every tree,
Pilgrim be found?
Perhaps a home too high -
Ah aristoc...
Forever at His side to walk -
The smaller of the two!
Brain of His Brain -
Blood of His Blood -
Two lives - One Being - now -
Forever of His fate to taste -

From Us She wandered now, a Year -
Her tarrying, unknown.
If Wilderness prevent Her feet -
Or that Ethereal Zone
No Man hath seen and lived -
We ignorant must be -
We only know what time of Year

Garlands for Queens, may be -
Laurels - for rare degree
Of soul or sword -

Nature in charity -
Nature in equity -

Ges?! La tua Croce
Ti concede di prevedere
Le pi? piccole cose!
Ges?! Il tuo secondo volto
Ti rammenti in Paradiso
Del nostro.
Gli ho dato il cuore e lui lo ha preso soltanto per stritolarlo a morte e scagliarmelo sulla faccia... Gli esseri umani sentono con il cuore, Ellen, e poiché lui il mio lo ha distrutto, non pos...
Gli uomini non possono contraffare le convulsioni, né simulare, uno spasimo.
Glowing is her Bonnet -
Glowing is her Cheek -
Glowing is her Kirtle -
Yet she cannot speak.
Better as the Daisy
From the Summer hill
Vanish unrecorded
Save by tearful rill -
Save by loving sunrise

Go not too near a House of Rose -
The depredation of a Breeze -
Or inundation of a Dew
Alarm it's Walls away -
Nor try to tie the Butterfly,
Nor climb the Bars of Ecstasy -
In insecurity to lie
Is Joy...
God made no act without a cause -
nor heart without an aim -
Our inference is premature,
our premises to blame.
God permits industrious Angels -
Afternoons - to play -
I met one - forgot my Schoolmates -
All - for Him - straightway -
God calls home - the Angels - promptly -
At the Setting Sun -
I missed mine - ...
Going to Him! Happy letter!
Tell Him -
Tell Him the page I did'nt write -
Tell Him - I only said the Syntax -
And left the Verb and the pronoun - out -
Tell Him just how the fingers hurried -
Then - h...
Good Night! Which put the Candle out?
A jealous Zephyr - not a doubt -
Ah, friend, you little knew
How long at that celestial wick
The Angels - labored diligent -
Extinguished - now - for you!

Great Streets of silence led away
To Neighborhoods of Pause -

No Universe - no Laws -

Had I known that the last was the first
I should have mixed it stronger.
Cup, it was your fault,
Lip was not the liar.
No, lip it ...
Had I presumed to hope -
The loss had been to Me
A Value - for the Greatness'Sake -
As Giants - gone away -
Had I presumed to gain
A Favor so remote -

He ate and drank the precious Words -
His Spirit grew robust -
He knew no more that he was poor,
Nor that his frame was Dust -
He danced along the dingy Days
And this Bequest of Wings
Was but a Book -...
He forgot - and I - remembered -
'Twas an everyday affair -
Long ago as Christ and Peter -
"Warmed them" at the "Temple fire".
"Thou wert with him" - quoth "the Dams...
He gave away his Life -
To Us - Gigantic Sum -
A trifle - in his own esteem -
But magnified - by Fame -
Until it burst the Hearts
That fancied they could hold -
When swift it slipped it's limit -
And ...
He is alive, this morning -
He is alive - and awake -
Birds are resuming for Him -
Blossoms - dress for His sake -
Bees - to their Loaves of Honey
Add an Amber Crumb
Him - to regale - Me - Only -

He parts Himself - like Leaves -
And then - He closes up -
And then He leans with all His Might
Upon a Buttercup -
And then He runs against
And oversets a Rose -
And then does Nothing -

Presumptuous of Your Place -
Of This - Could Man deprive Me -

He put the Belt around my life -
I heard the Buckle snap -
And turned away, imperial,
My Lifetime folding up -
Deliberate, as a Duke would do
A Kingdom's Title Deed -
Henceforth, a Dedicated sort -
