Struck, was I, nor yet
by Lightning –
Lightning – lets away
Power to perceive His Process
With Vitality –

Maimed – was I – yet
not by Venture –
Stone of Stolid Boy –
Nor a Sportsman′s +Perad–
venture –
Who mine Enemy?

Robbed – was I – +intact
to Bandit –
All my Mansion torn –
Sun – withdrawn to Rec-
ognition –
Furthest shining – done –

 ¦

Yet was not the foe –
of any –
Not the smallest Bird
In the nearest Orchard
+dwelling –
Be of Me – afraid –

Most – I love the Cause
that slew Me –
Often as I die
+It′s beloved Recognition
Holds a Sun on Me –

Best – at Setting – as is
Nature′s –
Neither +witnessed Rise
Till the infinite Aurora
In the Other′s Eyes –

+ ruthless pleasure  – wanton
leisure + yet met no Bandit –
+ waiting + that + noticed –
