   I envy Seas, + whereon He
rides –
I envy Spokes of Wheels
Of Chariots, that Him convey –
I envy + Crooked Hills

 

That gaze opon His journey –
How easy all can see
What is + forbidden utterly
As Heaven – unto me!

 

I envy Nests of Sparrows –
That dot His distant Eaves;
The  < happy >  wealthy  Fly, opon His Pane –
The happy – happy Leaves –

 

That just abroad His Window
Have Summer′s leave to play –
The Ear Rings of Pizarro
Could not obtain for me –

 ¦

I envy Light – that wakes Him –
And Bells – that + boldly ring
To tell Him it is Noon,
abroad –
Myself – be Noon to Him –

 

Yet interdict – my Blossom –
And abrogate – my Bee –
Lest Noon + in everlasting night –
Drop Gabriel – and me –

 

+ That bear Him + speechless
Hills + grow along + denied
+ As Eden + Come + down –
