the Sherry in the Glass
I.
Alter? When the hills do
bring me the sunset in a cup
could I but ride indefinite
down Time’s quaint stream
II.
Exultation is going
further in the summer than the birds
going to heaven!
III.
He touched me so I live to know
I never lost as much as twice,
just lost when I was saved
like some old-fashioned miracle.
IV.

not any sunny tone
of bronze or blaze
V.

Remembrance has a rear and front,
so bashful when I spied her
VI.

Unto my books so good to turn
VII.
