I bet with every Wind that blew

... I bet with every Wind that blew ...

I breathed enough to take the Trick

... That One, to be quite sure --The Lungs are stirless -- must descend ...

star nullstar nullstar nullstar nullstar null

I bring an unaccustomed wine

... Are so superfluous Cold --I would as soon attempt to warm ...

I Came to buy a smile -- today

... I've Rubies -- live the Evening Blood -- ...

I can wade Grief

... That was all!Power is only Pain -- ...

I cannot be ashamed

... Magnitude Reverses ModestyAnd I cannot be proud ...

I cannot buy it -- 'tis not sold --

... Though it took all my storeBut just to look it in the Eye -- ...

I cannot dance upon my Toes

... One Claw upon the Air,Nor tossed my shape in Eider Balls, ...

I cannot meet the Spring unmoved --

... A Warrant to be fair --A Competition in my sense ...

I cannot see my soul but know 'tis there

... I cannot see my soul but know 'tis there ...

I cannot want it more --

... My Human Nature's fullest force ...

I cautious, scanned my little life

... And lo - my priceless HayWas not upon the "Scaffold" -- ...

I could bring You Jewels -- had I a mind to --

... Domingo -- Colors -- from Vera Cruz --Berries of the Bahamas -- have I -- ...

star nullstar nullstar nullstar nullstar null

I could die -- to know --

... Were but mine -- the Charter of the least Fly --Houses hunch the House ...

star nullstar nullstar nullstar nullstar null

I could not drink it, Sweet,

... Though cooler than the Water was ...
