The Birds begun at
Four o′clock –
Their period for Dawn –
A Music ⁺numerous as
space –
But neighboring as Noon –

 

I could not count
their Force –
Their ⁺Voices did expend
As Brook by Brook
bestows itself
To ⁺multiply the Pond.

 

Their ⁺Witnesses were not –
Except Occasional Man –
In homely industry ⁺arrayed –
To overtake the Morn –

 

Nor was it for ⁺applause –
That I could ascertain –

 

 ¦

 

But independent Extasy
Of ⁺Deity, and Men –

 

By Six, the ⁺Flood had
done –
No Tumult there had been
Of Dressing, or Departure –
⁺And yet the Band –
was gone –

 

The Sun engrossed the
East –
The Day ⁺controlled the
World –
The Miracle that
introduced
Forgotten, as fulfilled.

 

+ measureless as Noon –
+ numbers + magnify + Listener –
was none + attired + Parade – Result
+ Universe + Gush + Yet all + Resumed –
