Again - his voice is at
the door -
I feel the old Degree -
I hear him ask the
servant
For such an one - as me -
I take a
flower - as I go -
My face to justify -
He never saw me - in
this life -
I might surprise his
eye!
I cross the Hall
with mingled steps -
I - speechless
silent - pass the
door -
I look on all this
world contains -
Just his face - nothing
more!
We talk in
venture
careless - and in toss -
A kind of plummet<
/em> strain -
Each - sounding - shily -
Just - how - deep -
The other's foot had been
one - had been -
We walk - I
leave my Dog - behind
at home -
A tender - thoughtful
Moon
Goes with us - just
a little way -
And - then - we are
alone -
Alone - if Angels<
/em> are "alone" -
First time they try the
sky!
Alone - if those "vailed faces" - be -
We cannot count -
On High!
I'd give - to live that
hour - again -
The purple - in my
Vein -
But He should
must count
the drops - himself -
My price for every
stain!
