Earnest, earthless, equal, attuneable, ' vaulty, voluminous, ... stupendous
Evening strains to be tàme-s và¡st, ' womb-of-all, home-of-all, hearse-of-all night.
Her fond yellow hornlight wound to the west, ' her wild hollow hoarlight hung to the height
Waste; her earliest stars, earl-stars, ' stà¡rs principal, overbend us,
Fàre-féaturing heaven. For earth ' her being has unbound, her dapple is at an end, as-
tray or aswarm, all throughther, in throngs; ' self àn self steedèd and pà¡shed-qàºite
Disremembering, dàsmémbering ' à¡ll now. Heart, you round me right
With: à?ur évening is over us; à³ur night ' whélms, whélms, à¡nd will end us.
Only the beak-leaved boughs dragonish ' damask the tool-smooth bleak light; black,
Ever so black on it. à?ur tale, O à³ur oracle! ' Lét life, wà¡ned, ah lét life wind
Off hér once skéined stained véined variety ' upon, à¡ll on twà³ spools; pà¡rt, pen, pà¡ck
Now her à¡ll in twà³ flocks, twà³ folds-black, white; ' right, wrong; reckon but, reck but, mind
But thése two; wà¡re of a wà³rld where bàºt these ' twà³ tell, each off the à³ther; of a rack
Where, selfwrung, selfstrung, sheathe- and shelterless, ' thà³ughts agaànst thoughts àn groans grànd.
