The Frost was
never seen -
If met, too
rapid passed,
Or in too un -
substantial
Team -
The Flowers
notice first
A Stranger hovering
round
A Symptom of
alarm
In Villages
remotely set
But search
effaces him
Till some
retrieveless night
Our Vigilance at
waste
The Garden gets
the only shot
That never could
be traced.
Unproved is much
we know -
Unknown the
worst we fear -
Of Strangers is
the Earth the
Inn
Of Secrets is
the Air -
To Analyze perhaps
A Philip would
prefer
But Labor
vaster than
myself
I find it to
infer.
