If One wake at Morn —
If One wake at Midnight — better —

Adjusted in the Tomb,
When One who died for Truth, was lain
In an adjoining Room —”

"For Beauty," I replied.
"And I — for Truth, — Themself are One —
We Brethren, are", He said —”

“Heart, we will forget him,

You and I, tonight!

You must forget the warmth he gave,

I will forget the light.”

“Truth is so rare, it is delightful to tell it.”

“There is no Frigate like a Book
To take us Lands away
Nor any Coursers like a Page
Of prancing Poetry –
This Traverse may the poorest take
Without oppress of Toll –
How frugal is the Chariot
That bears a Human soul.”

I'll let my head be just in sight;
A smile as small as mine might be
Precisely their necessity.”

“An ear can break a human heart
As quickly as a spear,
We wish the ear had not a heart
So dangerously near.”

I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.”

“We outgrow love, like other things
And put it in the Drawer —
Till it an Antique fashion shows —
Like Costumes Grandsires wore.”

Posterior to death,
Initial of creation, and
The exponent of breath.”

“If you were coming in the fall,
I'd brush the summer by,
With half a smile and half a spurn,
As housewives do a fly.

If I could see you in a year,
I'd wind the months in balls,
And put them each in separate drawers,
Until their time befalls.”
