There came a Wind like a Bugle -
It quivered through the Grass
And a Green Chill upon the Heat
So ominous did pass
We barred the Windows and the Doors
As from an Emerald Ghost -
The Doom's electric Mo...
Sleep is supposed to be
By souls of sanity -
The shutting of the eye.
Sleep is the station grand
Down wh'on either hand -
The Hosts of Witness stand!
Morn is supposed to be
By people of degree -

Drowning is not so pitiful
As the attempt to rise.
Three times, 'tis said, a sinking man
Comes up to face the skies,
And then declines forever
To that abhorred abode,
Where hope and he part company -

La Morte ? importante per Colui
che muore, e per il suo amico.
Oltre a questi, ininfluente
per Tutti tranne Dio.
Se la mia barca sprofond? nel mare,
Se incontr? le tempeste,
Se ad isole incantate
Drizz? docili vele,
Quale mistico ormeggio
Quest'oggi la trattiene,
Ora cerca il mio sguardo
Vagando sulla baia.
Sweet is the swamp with it's secrets,
Until we meet a snake;
'Tis then we sigh for houses,
And our departure take
At that enthralling gallop
That only childhood knows.
A snake is nature's treason,
And...
The Sun is gay or stark
According to our Deed -
If Merry, He is merrier -
If eager for the Dead
Or an expended Day
He helped to make too bright
His mighty pleasure suits Us not
It magnifies our Freigh...
Her face was in a bed of hair,
Like flowers in a plot -
Her hand was whiter than the sperm
That feeds the sacred light.
Her tongue more tender than the tune
That totters in the leaves -

Dont put up my Thread & Needle -
I'll begin to Sow
When the Birds begin to whistle -
Better stitches - so -
These were bent - my sight got crooked -
When my mind - is plain
I'll do seams - a Queen...
Lady red - amid the Hill
Her annual secret keeps!
A Lady white, within the Field
In placid Lily sleeps!
The tidy Breezes, with their Brooms -
Sweep vale - and hill - and tree!
Prithee, My pretty House...
Better - than Music! For I - who heard it -
I was used - to the Birds - before -
This - was different - 'Twas Translation -
Of all tunes I knew - and more -
'Twas'nt contained - like other stanza -

Pain has an element of blank;
It cannot recollect
When it began, or if there were
A day when it was not.
It has no future but itself,
Its infinite realms contain
Its past, enlightened to perceive
New...
Her smile was shaped like other smiles -
The Dimples ran along -
And still it hurt you, as some Bird
Did hoist herself, to sing,
Then recollect a Ball, she got -
And hold upon the Twig,
Convulsive, wh...
No man saw awe, nor to his house
Admitted he a man
Though by his awful residence
Has human nature been -
Not deeming of his dread abode -
Till laboring to flee
A grasp on comprehension laid

Surgeons must be very careful
When they take the knife!
Underneath their fine incisions
Stirs the Culprit - Life.
Se qualcuno cade, assicurategli che colui, che adesso ? in piedi -
Fall? come Lui - ed ? conscio che rialzarsi -

If he dissolve - then - there is nothing - more -
Eclipse - at Midnight -
It was dark - before -
Sunset - at Easter -
Blindness - on the Dawn -
Faint Star of Bethlehem -
Gone down!
Would but some God...
We - Bee and I - live by the quaffing -
'Tis'nt all Hock - with us -
Life has it's Ale -
But it's many a lay of the Dim Burgundy -
We chant - for cheer - when the Wines - fail -

No Man can compass a Despair -
As round a Goalless Road
No faster than a Mile at once
The Traveller proceed -
Unconscious of the Width -
Unconscious that the Sun
Be setting on His progress -
So accura...
Unto my Books - so good to turn -
Far ends of tired Days -
It half endears the Abstinence -
And Pain - is missed - in Praise -
As Flavors - cheer Retarded Guests
With Banquettings to be -
So Spices - ...

The nuts are getting brown -
The berry's cheek is plumper -
The Rose is out of town.
The Maple wears a gayer scarf -
The field a scarlet gown -

It cannot glow -
Warm this inclement Ear
With the encomium it earned
Since it was gathered here -

Lento discendi, o Paradiso!
Labbra a te non avvezze
Timidamente delibano i tuoi gelsomini,
Come l'ape stremata
Che giunge tardi al fiore,
Ronza intorno alla sua stanza,

A Weight with Needles on the pounds -
To push, and pierce, besides -
That if the Flesh resist the Heft -
The puncture - coolly tries -
That not a pore be overlooked
Of all this Compound Frame -
As man...
What mystery pervades a well!
That water lives so far -
A neighbor from another world
Residing in a jar
Whose limit none have ever seen,
But just his lid of glass -
Like looking every time you please
