What are stars but hieroglyphics of God's glory writ in lightning
On the wide-unfolded pages of the azure scroll above?
...
On the banks of the yellow lillies.
Where the cool wave wanders by,
All bedamasked with daffodiles,
And the bee-beset Crowtie;
...
When thy soft round form was lying
On the bed where thou wert sighing,
...
Clatta, clatta, clatta, clatter,
Like the devil beating batter
Down below in iron platter -
Which subsides into a clanky,
...
Her tender breasts were like to snow-white doves
Upon one willow bough at calm of even,
...
Upon thy lips now lies
The music-dew of love;
And in thy deep blue eyes,
More mild than Heaven above
...
As an egg, when broken, never
Can be mended but must ever
Be the same crushed egg forever—
So shall this dark heart of mine
...
