Decades of Arrogance between
The Dial life--
And Him--
A Clock stopped--
Not the Mantel's--
...
After great pain, a formal feeling comes--
The Nerves sit ceremonious, like Tombs--
This is the Hour of Lead--
Remembered, if outlived,
...
A light exists in spring
Not present on the year
At any other period.
It passes, and we stay:
...
A narrow Fellow in the Grass
Occasionally rides--
But never met this Fellow
Attended, or alone
Without a tighter breathing
And Zero at the Bone--
Apparently with no surprise
To any happy flower,
The frost beheads it at its play
The sun proceeds unmoved
To measure off another day
For an approving God.
