This is a Blossom of
the Brain -
A small - italic Seed
Lodged by Design or
Happening
The Spirit fructified -
Shy as the Wind of
his Chambers
Swift as a Freshet's
Tongue
So of the Flower of
the Soul
It's process is unknown -
When it is found, a
few rejoice
The Wise convey it
Home
Carefully cherishing the spot
If other Flower become -
When it is lost, that Day
shall be
The Funeral of God,
Opon his Breast, a
closing Soul
The Flower of Our Lord -
All Circumstances are
the Frame
In which His Face is set -
All Latitudes exist for His
Sufficient Continent -
The Light His Action, and
the Dark
The Leisure of His Will -
In Him Existence serve
or set
A Force illegible.
