Not Probable'the Barest Chance

346

Not probable-The barest Chance-
A smile too few-a word too much
And far from Heaven as the Rest-
The Soul so close on Paradise-

What if the Bird from journey far-
Confused by Sweets-as Mortals-are-
Forget the secret of His wing
And perish-but a Bough between-
Oh, Groping feet-
Oh Phantom Queen!
