The day undressed herself

The Day undressed - Herself -
Her Garter - was of Gold -
Her Petticoat of Purple - just -
Her Dimities as old

preciselyExactly - as the World
And yet the newest Star
Enrolled opon theFirmament Hemisphere -
Be wrinkled - much as Her -

Too near to God - to pray -
Too near to Heaven - to fear -
The Lady of the Occident
laid down -Retired without a Care -

Her Candle so expire
The Flickering be seen
On Ball of Mast - in Foreign Port -
AndChurch - Spire - and Window Pane.
