+I think just how my shape
will rise –
When I shall be ′′forgiven′′ –
Till Hair – and Eyes – and
timid Head –
Are out of sight – in Heaven –

 

I think just how my lips
will weigh –
With shapeless – quivering – prayer –
That you – so late – ′′consider′′ me
The ′′sparrow′′ of your care –

 

I mind me that of Anguish –
sent –
Some drifts were moved away –
Before my simple bosom – broke –
And why not this – if they?

 

And so I con that thing –
′′forgiven′′ –

 

 ¦

 

Until – delirious – borne –
By my long bright – and
longertrust
I drop my Heart – unshriven!

I′ve nothing Else – to bring,

You know –

So I keep bringing These –

Just as the Night keeps

fetching Stars

To our familiar eyes –

 

Maybe, we should′nt mind them –

Unless they did’nt come –

Then – maybe, it would puzzle us

To find our way Home –
