By my Window have
I for Scenery
Just a Sea – with a Stem –
+If the Bird and the
Farmer – deem it a ′′Pine′′  –
The Opinion will do –
for them –
It has no Port, nor
a ′′Line′′  – but the Jays –
That +split their route
to the Sky –
Or a Squirrel, whose
giddy Peninsula
May be +easier reached  –
this way –

 

For Inlands – the Earth
is the under side –
And the upper side – is
the Sun –

 

 ¦

And it′s Commerce – if
Commerce it have –
Of Spice – I infer from
the Odors borne –

 

Of it′s Voice – to affirm –
when the Wind is within –
Can the Dumb – +define
the Divine?
The Definition of Melody – is –
That Definition is none –

 

It – suggests to our
Faith –
They – suggest to our
Sight –
When the latter – is
put away
I shall meet with
Conviction I somewhere met
That Immortality –

 

 ¦

Was the Pine at my
Window a ′′Fellow
Of the Royal′′ Infinity?
Apprehensions – are
God′s introductions –
+To be hallowed – accor-
dingly –

 


+1 Grant +2serve
+ Ply between
it, and the Sky + Better
attained – easier gained –
+ divulge + Extended
inscrutably –

Defrauded I a Butterfly –

The lawful Heir ­–

for Thee –
