Nor rend with scymitar.
|
Two bodies therefore be;
|
Bind one, and one will flee.
|
The eagle of his nest
|
No easier divest
|
And gain the sky,
|
Than mayest thou,
|
Except thyself may be
|
Thine enemy;
|
Captivity is consciousness,
|
So's liberty.
|
XXXVI.
|
LOST.
|
I lost a world the other day.
|
Has anybody found?
|
You'll know it by the row of stars
|
Around its forehead bound.
|
A rich man might not notice it;
|
Yet to my frugal eye
|
Of more esteem than ducats.
|
Oh, find it, sir, for me!
|
XXXVII.
|
If I shouldn't be alive
|
When the robins come,
|
Give the one in red cravat
|
A memorial crumb.
|
If I couldn't thank you,
|
Being just asleep,
|
You will know I'm trying
|
With my granite lip!
|
XXXVIII.
|
Sleep is supposed to be,
|
By souls of sanity,
|
The shutting of the eye.
|
Sleep is the station grand
|
Down which on either hand
|
The hosts o f witness stand!
|
Morn is supposed to be,
|
By people of degree,
|
The breaking of the day.
|
Morning has not occurred!
|
That shall aurora be
|
East of eternity;
|
One wit h the banner gay,
|
One in the red array, --
|
That is the break of day.
|
XXXIX.
|
I shall know why, when time is over,
|
And I have ceased to wonder why;
|
Christ will explain each separate anguish
|
In the fair schoolroom of the sky.
|
He will tell me what Peter promised,
|
And I, for wonder at his woe,
|
I shall forget the drop of anguish
|
That scalds me now, that scalds me now.
|
XL.
|
I never lost as much but twice,
|
And that was in the sod;
|
Twice have I stood a beggar
|
Before the door of God!
