The Day came slow - till Five o'clock - Then sprang before the Hills Like Hindered Rubies - or the light A Sudden Musket - spills - The Purple could not keep the East -The Sunrise shook abroad Like Breadths of Topaz - packed a Night - The Lady just unrolled - The Happy Winds - their Timbrels took - The Birds - in docile RowsArranged themselves around their Prince - The Wind - is Prince of Those -The Orchard sparkled like a Jew - How mighty 'twas to be A Guest - in this stupendous place -The Parlor - of the Day!
