Immured in Heaven!
What a Cell!
Let every Bondage be,
Thou sweetest of the Universe,
Like that which ravished thee.
On such a night, or such a night,
Would anybody care
If such a little figure
Slipped quiet from it's chair,
So quiet - Oh how quiet,
That nobody might know
But that the little figure
Rocked softer - t...
Many a phrase has the English language -
I have heard but one -
Low as the laughter of the Cricket,
Loud, as the Thunder's Tongue -
Murmuring, like old Caspian Choirs,
When the Tide's a' lull -
Saying...
A little Dog that wags his tail
And knows no other joy
Of such a little Dog am I
Reminded by a Boy
Who gambols all the living Day
Without an earthly cause
Because he is a little Boy
I honestly suppose...
No Brigadier throughout the Year
So civic as the Jay -
A Neighbor and a Warrior too
With shrill felicity
Pursuing Winds that censure us
A Febuary Day,
The Brother of the Universe
Was never blown away ...
At least - to pray - is left - is left -
Oh Jesus - in the Air -
I know not which thy chamber is -
I'm knocking - everywhere -
Thou settest Earthquake in the South -
And Maelstrom, in the Sea -

A Pit - but Heaven over it -
And Heaven beside, and Heaven abroad;
And yet a Pit -
With Heaven over it.
To stir would be to slip -
To look would be to drop -
To dream - to sap the Prop

If I may have it, when it's dead,
I'll be contented - so -
If just as soon as Breath is out
It shall belong to me -
Until they lock it in the Grave,
'Tis Bliss I cannot weigh -
For tho' they lock Thee...
Heaven is so far of the Mind
That were the Mind dissolved -
The Site - of it - by Architect
Could not again be proved -
'Tis vast - as our Capacity -
As fair - as our idea -
To Him of adequate desire

We safe commit thee -
Tongue if it hath,
Inviolate to thee -
Silence - denote -
And Sanctity - enforce thee -
Passenger - of Infinity.
She's happy, with a new Content -
That feels to her - like Sacrament -
She's busy - with an altered Care -
As just apprenticed to the Air -
She's tearful - if she weep at all -
For blissful Causes - M...
If I should cease to bring a Rose
Upon a festal day,
Twill be because beyond the Rose
I have been called away -
If I should cease to take the names
My buds commemorate -
Twill be because Death's finge...

The Ordnance of Vitality

After all Birds have been investigated
And laid aside
Nature imparts the little Blue Bird -

Her conscientious voice
Will soar unmoved
Above ostensible vicissitude -

The Poets light but Lamps -
Themselves - go out -
The Wicks they stimulate -
If vital Light
Inhere as do the Suns -
Each Age a Lens
Disseminating their
Circumference.
La natura talvolta fa seccare
un arbusto, talvolta scalpa un albero-
il suo popolo verde lo ricorda
nel caso in cui non muoia.
Foglie stremate alle nuove stagioni
testimonioano mute -

Where I have lost, I softer tread -
I sow sweet flower from garden bed -
I pause above that vanished head
And mourn.
Whom I have lost, I pious guard
From accent harsh, or ruthless word -
Feeling as if...
Could live - did live -
Could die - did die -
Could smile upon the whole
Through faith in one he met not -
To introduce his soul -
Could go from scene familiar
To an untraversed spot -
Could contempla...

There's Triumph in the Room

There's Triumph of the finer mind

Than Heaven more remote,
For Heaven is the Root,
But these the flitted Seed,
More flown indeed,
Than Ones that never were,
Or those that hide, and are -
What madness, by their side,

She died at play -
Gambolled away
Her lease of spotted hours,
Then sank as gaily as a Turk
Upon a Couch of flowers -
Her ghost strolled softly over the hill -
Yesterday, and Today -

La fama ? un'ape.
Ha un canto
e un pungiglione
Ah, ma anche le ali.
Per fare un prato occorrono un trifoglio ed un'ape, -
Un trifoglio ed un'ape
E il sogno.
Il sogno pu? bastare
Se le api sono poche.
Each Second is the last
Perhaps, recalls the Man
Just measuring unconsciousness
The Sea and Spar between -
To fail within a Chance -
How terribler a thing
Than perish from the Chance's list
Before the...
Of Paradise' existence
All we know
Is the uncertain certainty -
But it's vicinity, infer,
By it's Bisecting Messenger.
