A solemn thing mdash it was mdash I said mdashB
A woman mdash white mdash to be mdashB
And wear mdash if God should count me fit mdashB
Her blameless mystery mdashB
-
A hallowed thing mdash to drop a lifeC
Into the purple well mdashB
Too plummetless mdash that it return mdashB
Eternity mdash until mdashB
-
I pondered how the bliss would look mdashB
And would it feel as big mdashB
When I could take it in my hand mdashB
As hovering mdash seen mdash through fog mdashB
-
And then mdash the size of this small life mdashB
The Sages mdash call it small mdashB
Swelled mdash like Horizons mdash in my vest mdashB
And I sneered mdash softly mdash smallD
