Contained in this short Life
Are exquisite
magical extents
The soul returning loth
[soft]ly Home • slily [Home]
soft at night
To steal at sunrise
securer thence
As children strictest • [strict]er
strictly kept
turn
Take [soon]est
sooner to the sea
Whose waters are the nameless
brawling Brook
Beside Infinity
To think infinity
Contained in
this short Life
Are magical
extents
The soul returning
soft at night
To steal securer
thence
As Children
strictest kept
Turn soonest to
the sea
Whose nameless
Fathoms slink
away
Beside infinity
