Funny — to be a Century –
And see the People — going by –
I — should die of the Oddity –
But then — I’m not so staid — as He –
He keeps His Secrets safely — very –
Were He to tell — extremely sorry
This Bashful Globe of Ours would be –
So dainty of Publicity –

If He dissolve — then –
there is nothing — more –
Eclipse — at Midnight –
It was dark — before –
Sunset — at Easter –
Blindness — on the Dawn –
Faint Star of Bethlehem –
Gone down!
Would but some God — inform Him –
Or it be too late!
Say — that the pulse just lisps –
The Chariots wait –
Say — that a little life — for His –
Is leaking — red –
His little Spaniel — tell Him!
Will He heed?

Teach Him — When He makes the names –
Such an one — to say –
On his babbling — Berry — lips –
As should sound — to me –
Were my Ear — as near his nest –
As my thought — today –
As should sound –
“Forbid us not” –
Some like “Emily.”
