A Dew sufficed
itself -
And satisfied
a Leaf
And felt "How vast a Destiny" -
"How trivial is
Life"!
The Sun went
out to work -
The Day went
out to play
And not again
that Dew be seen
By Physiognomy -
Whether by Day
Abducted
Or emptied by
the Sun
Into the Sea, in
passing
Eternally unknown -
Attested to this
Day
That awful
Tragedy
By Transport's
instability
And Doom's
celerity.
