The first Day's Night had come-
And grateful that a thing
So terrible-had been endured-
I told my Soul to sing-
She said her Strings were snapt-
Her Bow-to Atoms blown-
And so to mend her-gave me work
Until another Morn-
And then-a Day as huge
As Yesterdays in pairs,
Unrolled its horror in my face-
Until it blocked my eyes-
My Brain-begun to laugh-
I mumbled-like a fool-
And tho' 'tis Years ago-that Day-
My Brain keeps giggling-still.
And Something's odd-within-
That person that I was-
And this One-do not feel the same-
Could it be Madness-this?
