OUT from behind this bending rough cut MaskA
All straighter liker Masks rejected this preferr'dB
This common curtain of the face contain'd in me for me in you forC
you in each for eachD
Tragedies sorrows laughter tears O heavenE
The passionate teeming plays this curtain hidF
This glaze of God's serenest purest skyG
This film of Satan's seething pitH
This heart's geography's map this limitless small continent thisI
soundless seaJ
Out from the convolutions of this globeK
This subtler astronomic orb than sun or moon than Jupiter VenusL
MarsM
This condensation of the Universe nay here the only UniverseN
Here the IDEA all in this mystic handful wraptH
These burin'd eyes flashing to you to pass to future timeO
To launch and spin through space revolving sideling from these toH
emanateH
To You whoe'er you are a LookP

-
A Traveler of thoughts and years of peace and warC
Of youth long sped and middle age decliningQ
As the first volume of a tale perused and laid away and this theR
secondH
Songs ventures speculations presently to closeS
Lingering a moment here and now to You I opposite turnT
As on the road or at some crevice door by chance or open'd windowH
Pausing inclining baring my head You specially I greetH
To draw and clench your Soul for once inseparably with mineU
Then travel travel onV
