Like Flowers, that heard the news of Dews,

But never deemed the dripping prize

Awaited their -- low Brows --

Or Bees -- that thought the Summer's name

Some rumor of Delirium,

No Summer -- could -- for Them --


Or Arctic Creatures, dimly stirred --

By Tropic Hint -- some Travelled Bird

Imported to the Wood --


Or Wind's bright signal to the Ear --

Making that homely, and severe,

Contented, known, before --


The Heaven -- unexpected come,

To Lives that thought the Worshipping

A too presumptuous Psalm --
