20 Distrustful of the Gentian— And just to turn away, The fluttering of her fringes Child my perfidy—
A Wind that rose Though not a Leaf In any Forest stirred But with itself did cold engage Beyond the Realm of Bird -
310 Give little Anguish— Lives will fret— Give Avalanches— And they’ll slant—
493 The World—stands—solemner—to me— Since I was wed—to Him— A modesty befits the soul That bears another’s—name—
102 Great Caesar! Condescend The Daisy, to receive, Gathered by Cato’s Daughter, With your majestic leave!
702 A first Mute Coming— In the Stranger’s House— A first fair Going— When the Bells rejoice—
XXV Wild nights—Wild nights! Were I with thee Wild nights should be Our luxury!
Nature rarer uses yellow Than another hue; Saves she all of that for sunsets,… Prodigal of blue, Spending scarlet like a woman,
307 The One who could repeat the Summ… Were greater than itself—though H… Minutest of Mankind should be— And He—could reproduce the Sun—
Water makes many Beds For those averse to sleep - Its awful chamber open stands - Its Curtains blandly sweep - Abhorrent is the Rest
672 The Future—never spoke— Nor will He—like the Dumb— Reveal by sign—a syllable Of His Profound To Come—
835 Nature and God—I neither knew Yet Both so well knew me They startled, like Executors Of My identity.
839 Always Mine! No more Vacation! Term of Light this Day begun! Failless as the fair rotation
884 As Everywhere of Silver With Ropes of Sand To keep it from effacing The Track called Land.
10 My wheel is in the dark! I cannot see a spoke Yet know its dripping feet Go round and round.
