More Life — went out — when He went
Than Ordinary Breath –
Lit with a finer Phosphor –
Requiring in the Quench –
A Power of Renowned Cold,
The Climate of the Grave
A Temperature just adequate
So Anthracite, to live –
For some — an Ampler Zero –
A Frost more needle keen
Is necessary, to reduce
The Ethiop within.
Others — extinguish easier –
A Gnat’s minutest Fan
Sufficient to obliterate

Ignores the solemn News
That Popocatapel exists –
Or Etna’s Scarlets, Choose –

I liked as well to see –
As other Creatures, that have Eyes
And know no other way –

The Meadows — mine –
The Mountains — mine –
All Forests — Stintless Stars –
As much of Noon as I could take
Between my finite eyes –
The Motions of the Dipping Birds –
The Morning’s Amber Road –
For mine — to look at when I liked –
The News would strike me dead –
So safer — guess — with just my soul
Upon the Window pane –
Where other Creatures put their eyes –
Incautious — of the Sun –
