Sweet mdash safe mdash Houses mdashB
Glad mdash gay mdash Houses mdashB
Sealed so stately tight mdashB
Lids of Steel mdash on Lids of Marble mdashB
Locking Bare feet out mdashB

Brooks of Plush mdash in Banks of SatinC
Not so softly fallD
As the laughter mdash and the whisper mdashB
From their People Pearl mdashB

No Bald Death mdash affront their Parlors mdashB
No Bold Sickness comeE
To deface their Stately Treasures mdashB
Anguish mdash and the Tomb mdashB

Lest they mdash wonder Why mdashB
Any mdash for the Press of Smiling mdashB
Interrupt mdash to die mdashB
