That Love is all there is,
Is all we know of Love;
It is enought, the freight should be
Proportioned to the groove.

Who has not found the Heaven – below –
Will fail ofit above –
For Angels rent the House next ours,
Wherever we remove –

The Spider as an Artist
Has never been employed –
Though his surpassing Merit
Is freely certifed
By every Broom and Bridget
Throughhout a Christian Land –
Neglected son of Genius
I take thee by the Hand –

Longing is like the Seed
That wrestles in the Ground
Believing if it intercede
It shall at lenght be found
The Hour, and the Clime –
Each Circumstance uknown,
What Constancy must be achieved
Before it see the sun!

Love – is anterior to Life –
Posterior – to Death –
Initial of Creation, and
The Exponent of Earth

Unable are the Loved to die
For Love is Immortality,
Nay, it is Deity
Unable they that love – to die
For Love reforms Vitality
Into Divinity

To wait an Hour – is long –
If Love be just beyond –
To wait Eternity – is short –
If love reward the end –

I’m Nobody! Who are you?
Are you – Nobody – Too?
Then there’s a pair of us?
Don’t tell! they’d advertise – you know!
How dearg – to be – Some body?
How public like a Frog –
To tell one’s name – the livelong June –
To an admiring Bog!

Wild Nights – Wild Nights!
Were I with thee
Wild Nights should be
Our luxury!
Futile – the Winds –
To a Heart in port –
Done with the Com-pass –
Done with the Chart!
Rowing in Eden –
Ah, the Sea!
Might I but moor – Tonight –
In Three!
