'Arcturus' is his other name | B |
I'd rather call him 'Star ' | - |
It's very mean of Science | C |
To go and interfere | D |
- | |
I slew a worm the other day | E |
A 'Savant' passing by | F |
Murmured 'Resurgam' 'Centipede' | E |
'Oh Lord how frail are we' | G |
- | |
I pull a flower from the woods | H |
A monster with a glass | I |
Computes the stamens in a breath | J |
And has her in a 'class' | I |

Whereas I took the Butterfly | F |
Aforetime in my hat | E |
He sits erect in 'Cabinets' | I |
The Clover bells forgot | E |

What once was 'Heaven' | K |
Is 'Zenith' now | K |
Where I proposed to go | L |
When Time's brief masquerade was done | K |
Is mapped and charted too | E |

What if the poles should frisk about | E |
And stand upon their heads | I |
I hope I'm ready for 'the worst' | E |
Whatever prank betides | I |

Perhaps the 'Kingdom of Heaven's' changed | E |
I hope the 'Children' there Won't be 'new fashioned' when I come | M |
And laugh at me and stare | N |
- | |
I hope the Father in the skies | I |
Will lift his little girl | O |
Old fashioned naught everything | P |
Over the stile of 'Pearl ' | - |
