A Dew
sufficed itself
And satisfied
a Leaf -
And thought
"how vast a
destiny" -
"How trivial is
Life"!
The Sun went
out to work -
The Day went
out to play -
But not again

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 -
