+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 –
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
longer – trust –
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 –
