The Luxury
to apprehend
The Luxury
'twould be
To look at thee
a single time
An Epicure of
me
In whatsoever
Presence makes
Till for a further
Food
I scarcely
recollect to starve
So first am
I supplied.
The Luxury to
meditate
The Luxury
it was
To banquet on
thy Countenance
A Sumptuousness
supplies
To plainer Days
whose table far
As Certainty can
see
Is laden with
a single Crumb
The Consciousness
of thee
