There is a June when
Corn is cut
And Roses in the Seed -
A Summer briefer than
the first
But tenderer indeed
As should a Face
supposed the Grave's
Emerge a single Noon
In the Vermillion that
it wore
Affect us, and return -
Two Seasons, it is said,
exist -
The Summer of the Just,
And this of our's,
diversified
With Prospect - and
with Frost -
May not our Second
with it's First
So infinite compare
That We but recollect
the one
The other to prefer?
To own the Art within
the Soul
The Soul to entertain
With Silence as a Company
And Festival maintain
In an unfurnished Circumstance
Possession is to One
As an Estate perpetual
Or a reduceless Mine.
