- | |
I tie my Hat I crease my Shawl | B |
Life's little duties do precisely | C |
As the very least | D |
Were infinite to me | C |
- | |
I put new Blossoms in the Glass | E |
And throw the old away | F |
I push a petal from my gown | G |
That anchored there I weigh | F |
The time 'twill be till six o'clock | H |
I have so much to do | I |
And yet Existence some way back | J |
Stopped struck my tickling through | I |
We cannot put Ourself away | F |
As a completed Man | K |
Or Woman When the Errand's done | L |
We came to Flesh upon | M |
There may be Miles on Miles of Nought | I |
Of Action sicker far | N |
To simulate is stinging work | O |
To cover what we are | N |
From Science and from Surgery | C |
Too Telescopic Eyes | P |
To bear on us unshaded | I |
For their sake not for Ours | Q |
'Twould start them | R |
We could tremble | S |
But since we got a Bomb | T |
And held it in our Bosom | U |
Nay Hold it it is calm | T |
- | |
Therefore we do life's labor | V |
Though life's Reward be done | L |
With scrupulous exactness | Q |
To hold our Senses on | M |
