The secrets of the mind convene splendidly	A
Though the mind is meek	B
To be aware inwardly	A
of brain and beauty	A
Is dark too recognizable	C
Thought looking out on thought	D
Makes one an eye	E
Which it shall be both decide	F
One is with the mind alone	G
The other is with other thoughts gone	H
To be seen from afar and not known	G
	-
When openly these inmost sights	I
Flash and speak fully	A
Each head at home shakes hopelessly	A
Of being never ready to see self	J
And sees a universe too soon	K
The immense surmise swims round and round	L
And heads grow wise	M
With their own bigness beatified	F
In cosmos and the idiot size	M
Of skulls spells Nature on the ground	L
While ears listening the wrong way report	N
Echoes first and hear words before sounds	O
Because the mind being quiet seems late	P
By ears words are copied into books	Q
By letters minds are taught self ignorance	R
From mouths spring forth vocabularies	R
To the assemblage of strange objects	R
Grown foreign to the faithful countryside	F
Of one king poverty	A
Of one line humbleness	R
Unavowed and false horizons claim pride	F
For spaces in the head	S
The native head sees outside	F
The flood of wonder rushing from the eyes	R
Returns lesson by lesson	T
The mind shrunken of time	U
Overflows too soon	K
The complete vision is the same	V
As when the world wideness began	W
Worlds to describe	X
The excessiveness of man	W
	-
But man's right portion rejects	R
The surplus in the whole	Y
This much made secret first	Z
Now makes	R
The knowable which was	R
Thought's previous flesh	A2
And gives instruction of substance to its intelligence	R
As far as flesh itself	J
As bodies upon themselves to where	B2
Understanding is the head	S
And the identity of breath and breathing are established	C2
And the voice opening to cry I know	D2
Closes around the entire declaration	T
With this evidence of immortality	A
The total silence to say	R
I am dead	S
	-
For death is all ugly all lovely	A
Forbids mysteries to make	E2
Science of splendor or any separate disclosing	F2
Of beauty to the mind out of body's book	G2
That page by page flutters a world in fragments	R
Permits no scribbling in of more	H2
Where spaces are	I2
Only to look	G2
	-
Body as Body lies more than still	J2
The rest seems nothing and nothing is	R
If nothing need be	A
But if need be	A
Thought not divided anyway	R
Answers itself thinking	F2
All open and everything	F2
Dead is the mind that parted each head	S
But now the secrets of the mind convene	K2
Without pride without pain	L2
To any onlookers	R
What they ordain alone	G
Cannot be known	G
The ordinary way of eyes and ears	R
But only prophesied	F
If an unnatural mind refusing to divide	F
Dies immediately	A
Of too plain beauty	A
Foreseen within too suddenly	A
And lips break open of astonishment	M2
Upon the living mouth and rehearse	R
Death that seems a simple verse	R
And of all ways to know	D2
Dead or alive easiest	N2
