... Fate -- following -- behind us bolts it -- ...

We play at Paste

... And deem ourself a fool --The Shapes -- though -- were similar -- ...

We pray -- to Heaven

... Unto the Dead There's no Geography --But State -- Endowal -- Focus -- ...

We see -- Comparatively --

... Our Apennine -- a Knoll --Perhaps 'tis kindly -- done us -- ...

We send the Wave to find the Wave --

... We send the Wave to find the Wave -- ...

We shall find the Cube of the Rainbow.

... We shall find the Cube of the Rainbow ...

We shun because we prize her Face

... We shun because we prize her Face ...

We shun it ere it comes,

... Afraid of Joy, Then sue it to delay ...

We talked with each other about each other

We thirst at first -- 'tis Nature's Act --

... Of fingers going by --It intimates the finer want -- ...

We wear our sober Dresses when we die,

... We wear our sober Dresses when we die, ...

We'll pass without the parting

... If I tried -- This way, I keep from missing ...

Were it but Me that gained the Height --

... Were it but Me that gained the Height -- ...

star nullstar nullstar nullstar nullstar null

Were it to be the last

... What we did not suspect was marked -- ...

Were natural mortal lady

... The great exchange of clime --How rapid, how momentous -- ...
