I watched the moon around the house

I watched the moon around the house
Until upon[^a1] a pane
She stopped, a traveller's privilege for rest
And there upon[^a2] I turned, as at a stranger
The lady in the town doth think no incivility -
To lift her glass upon[^a3] -
But never a stranger justified the curiosity like mine,
For not a foot, nor hand, nor formula had she
But like a head, a guillotine
Slid easily away -
Did independent amber
Sustain her in the sky,
Or like a stemless flower
Upheld in rolling air
By finer gravitation
Than binds philosopher -
No hunger had she, nor an inn
Her toilet[^a4] to suffice
Nor avocation nor concern
For little mysteries
As puzzle us, like life and death
And afterward, or nay,
But seemed content too absolute
With shining, and the sky -
The privilege to scrutinize
Was scarce upon[^a5] my eyes,
When with a silver practise
She vaulted out of gaze,
And next, I met her on a cloud
Myself too far below,
To follow her superior pace
Or its[^a6] advantage blue
