A solemn thing mdash it was mdash I said mdash | B |
A woman mdash white mdash to be mdash | B |
And wear mdash if God should count me fit mdash | B |
Her blameless mystery mdash | B |

A hallowed thing mdash to drop a life | C |
Into the purple well mdash | B |
Too plummetless mdash that it return mdash | B |
Eternity mdash until mdash | B |

I pondered how the bliss would look mdash | B |
And would it feel as big mdash | B |
When I could take it in my hand mdash | B |
As hovering mdash seen mdash through fog mdash | B |

And then mdash the size of this small life mdash | B |
The Sages mdash call it small mdash | B |
Swelled mdash like Horizons mdash in my vest mdash | B |
And I sneered mdash softly mdash small | D |
