Awake that night | B |
Wishing that night | B |
Would name the hour | C |
And tell me whether | C |
To call it day | A |
Though not yet light | B |
And give up sleep | D |
The snow fell deep | D |
With the hiss of spray | A |
Two winds would meet | E |
One down one street | E |
One down another | C |
And fight in a smother | C |
Of dust and feather | C |
I could not say | A |
But feared the cold | F |
Had checked the pace | G |
Of the tower clock | H |
By tying together | C |
Its hands of gold | F |
Before its face | G |
- | |
Then cane one knock | H |
A note unruffled | I |
Of earthly weather | C |
Though strange and muffled | I |
The tower said One ' | - |
And then a steeple | J |
They spoke to themselves | K |
And such few people | J |
As winds might rouse | L |
From sleeping warm | M |
But not unhouse | L |
They left the storm | M |
That struck en masse | L |
My window glass | L |
Like a beaded fur | C |
In that grave One | N |
They spoke of the sun | N |
And moon and stars | L |
Saturn and Mars | L |
And Jupiter | C |
Still more unfettered | O |
They left the named | P |
And spoke of the lettered | O |
The sigmas and taus | L |
Of constellations | L |
They filled their throats | L |
With the furthest bodies | L |
To which man sends his | L |
Speculation | N |
Beyond which God is | L |
The cosmic motes | L |
Of yawning lenses | L |
Their solemn peals | L |
Were not their own | Q |
They spoke for the clock | H |
With whose vast wheels | L |
Theirs interlock | H |
In that grave word | O |
Uttered alone | Q |
The utmost star | R |
Trembled and stirred | O |
Though set so far | R |
Its whirling frenzies | L |
Appear like standing | S |
in one self station | N |
It has not ranged | T |
And save for the wonder | C |
Of once expanding | S |
To be a nova | U |
It has not changed | T |
To the eye of man | V |
On planets over | C |
Around and under | C |
It in creation | N |
Since man began | V |
To drag down man | V |
And nation nation | N |
