Garland for Queens, May Be

34 Garland for Queens, may be— Laurels—for rare degree Of soul or sword. Ah—but remembering me—

Could I—then—shut the door—

220 Could I—then—shut the door— Lest my beseeching face—at last— Rejected—be—of Her?

It’s Like the Light,—

It’s like the light,— A fashionless delight It’s like the bee,— A dateless melody. It’s like the woods,

Love XLVII. Heart, we will forget him!

XLVII HEART, we will forget him! You and I, to—night! You may forget the warmth he gave, I will forget the light.

The Malay—took the Pearl—

452 The Malay—took the Pearl— Not—I—the Earl— I—feared the Sea—too much Unsanctified—to touch—

Life XLVIII. Though I get home how late, how late!

XLVIII THOUGH I get home how late, how… So I get home, ’t will compensate… Better will be the ecstasy That they have done expecting me,

904 Had I not This, or This, I said, Appealing to Myself, In moment of prosperity— Inadequate—were Life—

Time XL. I Never lost as much but twice (49)

XL I NEVER lost as much but twice, And that was in the sod; Twice have I stood a beggar Before the door of God!

79 Going to Heaven! I don’t know when— Pray do not ask me how! Indeed I’m too astonished

I never felt at Home–Below–

413 I never felt at Home–Below– And in the Handsome Skies I shall not feel at Home–I know– I don’t like Paradise–

All These my Banners Be

22 All these my banners be. I sow my pageantry In May— It rises train by train—

So Much Summer

651 So much Summer Me for showing Illegitimate— Would a Smile’s minute bestowing
