My crippled sense fares bow'd along	A
His uncompanioned way	B
And wronged by death pays life with wrong	A
And I wake by night and dream by day	B
	-
And the Morning seems but fatigued Night	C
That hath wept his visage pale	D
And the healthy mark 'twixt dark and light	C
In sickly sameness out doth fail	D
	-
And the woods stare strange and the wind is dumb	E
O Wind pray talk again	F
And the Hand of the Frost spreads stark and numb	E
As Death's on the deadened window pane	G
	-
Still dumb thou Wind old voluble friend	H
And the middle of the day is cold	I
And the heart of eve beats lax i' the end	H
As a legend's climax poorly told	I
	-
Oh vain the up straining of the hands	J
In the chamber late at night	C
Oh vain the complainings the hot demands	J
The prayers for a sound the tears for a sight	C
	-
No word from over the starry line	K
No motion felt in the dark	L
And never a day gives ever a sign	K
Or a dream sets seal with palpable mark	L
	-
And O my God how slight it were	M
How nothing thou All to thee	N
That a kiss or a whisper might fall from her	M
Down by the way of Time to me	N
	-
Or some least grace of the body of love	O
Mere wafture of floating by	P
Mere sense of unseen smiling above	O
Mere hint sincere of a large blue eye	P
	-
Mere dim receipt of sad delight	C
From Nearness warm in the air	Q
What time with the passing of the night	C
She also passed somehow somewhere	Q
	-
	-
Baltimore	R
