He parts Himself -- like Leaves --

He parts Himself -- like Leaves --
And then -- He closes up --
Then stands upon the Bonnet
Of Any Buttercup

And then He runs against
And overturns[^a1]oversets a Rose --
And then does Nothing --
Then away upon a Jib -- He goes --

[^a1: overturns | overturns]

And dangles like a Mote
Suspended in the Noon --
Uncertain -- to return Below --
Or settle in the Moon --

What come of Him -- at Night --
The privilege to say
Be limited by Ignorance --
What come of Him -- That Day

The Frost -- obtain the[^a2]possess the World --
In Cabinets -- be shown --
A Sepulchre of quaintest Floss --
An Abbey -- a Cocoon --

[^a2: obtain the | obtain the]
