I meant to have but modest needs -
Such as Content - and Heaven -
Within my income - these could lie
And Life and I - keep even -
But since the last - included both -
It would suffice my Prayer

The Sun and Fog contested
The Government of Day -
The Sun took down his Yellow Whip
And drove the Fog away.
Would not paint - a picture -
I'd rather be the One
It's bright impossibility
To dwell - delicious - on -
And wonder how the fingers feel
Whose rare - celestial - stir -
Evokes so sweet a Torment -

Pass to thy Rendezvous of Light,
Pangless except for us -
Who slowly ford the Mystery
Which thou hast leaped across.
You see I cannot see - your lifetime -
I must guess -
How many times it ache for me - today - Confess -
How many times for my far sake
The brave eyes film -
But I guess guessing hurts -
Mine - got so ...
I cried at Pity - not at Pain -
I heard a Woman say
"Poor Child" - and something in her voice
Convinced me - of me -
So long I fainted, to myself
It seemed the common way,
And Health, and La...
You love the Lord - you cannot see -
You write Him - every day -
A little note - when you awake -
And further in the Day,
An Ample Letter - How you miss -
And would delight to see -
But then His House...

Ruddy as that Coeval Apple
The Tradition bears -
Fresh as Mankind that humble story
While a statelier Tale

To hang our head - ostensibly -
And subsequent, to find
That such was not the posture
Of our immortal mind -
Affords the sly presumption
That in so dense a fuzz -
You - too - take Cobweb attitudes

The Bird must sing to earn the Crumb
What merit have the Tune
No Breakfast if it guaranty
The Rose content may bloom
To gain renown of Lady's Drawer
But if the Lady come

There comes an hour when begging stops,
When the long interceding lips
Perceive their prayer is vain.
"Thou shalt not" is a kinder sword

The Malay - took the Pearl -

Low at my problem bending,
Another problem comes -
Larger than mine - serener -
Involving statelier sums.
I check my busy pencil -
My figures file away -
Wherefore, my baffled fingers
Thy perplexity?
Rifletto: il mondo ? breve
e l'angoscia - assoluta -

E con questo?
Rifletto: potremmo morire -

He was my host - he was my guest,
I never to this day
If I invited him could tell,
Or he invited me.
So infinite our intercourse
So intimate, indeed,
Analysis as capsule seemed
To keeper of the seed.
The Guest is gold and crimson -
An Opal guest, and gray -
Of Ermine is his doublet -
His Capuchin gay -
He reaches town at nightfall -
He stops at every door -
Who looks for him at morning
I pray him ...
Quando la notte ? quasi terminata
e l'alba ? tanto vicina
che possiamo toccare gli spazi -
? ora di lisciarsi i capelli
e preparare le fossette nelle guance -
e stupirsi di esser stati in pena
per qu...
The Bird her punctual music brings
And lays it in it's place -
It's place is in the Human Heart
And in the Heavenly Grace -
What respite from her thrilling toil
Did Beauty ever take -

Witchcraft was hung, in History,
But History and I
Find all the Witchcraft that we need
Around us, Every Day.
Fa ch'io per te sia l'estate
Quando saran fuggiti i giorni estivi!
La tua musica quando il fanello

A fiorire per te sapr? sfuggire alla tomba
Riseminando il mio splendore!

How much the present moment means
To those who've nothing more -

Upon a Moment's shallow Rim
