The Love a Child can
show - below -
Is but a Filament - I
know -
Of that Diviner - Thing -
That faints opon the face
of Noon -
And smites the Tinder
in the Sun -
And hinders - Gabriel's Wing!
'Tis This - in Music -
hints - and sways -
And far abroad - on
Summer Days -
Distils
- uncertain - pain -
'Tis This - afflicts us
in the East -
And tints the Transit
in the West -
With Harrowing - Iodine!
'Tis this - invites - appalls -
endows -
Flits - glimmers - proves -
dissolves -
Returns - suggests - convicts -
enchants -
Then - flings in Paradise!
