Seldom with the Soul
Scarcer once with the Might
Few - love at all.
Nature—sometimes Sears A Sapling
314
Nature—sometimes sears a Sapling—
Sometimes—scalps a Tree—
Her Green People recollect it
When they do not die—

Dumbly testify—
We—who have the Souls—
Die oftener—Not so vitally—
I'Ve Heard An Organ Talk, Sometimes
183
I've heard an Organ talk, sometimes
In a Cathedral Aisle,
And understood no word it said—
Yet held my breath, the while—
And risen up—and gone away,
A more Berdardine Girl—
Yet—know not what was done to me
In that old Chapel Aisle.

The Thought to be alive—

And Madder—to conceive—
Consoles a Woe so monstrous
That did it tear all Day,
Without an instant's Respite—
'Twould look too far—to Die—
