Excuse me - Dollie -

The Love a Child can
show - below -
Is but a Filament - I
know -
Of that Diviner - Thing -
That faints upon the face
of Noon -
And smites the tinder
in the Sun -
And hinders - Gabriel's - Wing!

'Tis This - in music -
hints - and sways -
And far abroad - on



  A 635 p2


 

Summer Days -
Distils - uncertain - pain -
'Tis This - afflicts us
in the East -
And tints the Transit -
in the West -
With Harrowing - Iodine!

'Tis This - invites - appalls -
endows -
Flits - glimmers - proves -
dissolves -
Returns - suggests - convicts -
Enchantss -
Then - flings in Paradise!

Emily -
