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! |
