Could I—then—shut the door

Could I—then—shut the door—
Lest my beseeching face—at last—
Rejected—be—of Her?

Woodpecker, The

His bill an auger is,
His head, a cap and frill.
He laboreth at every tree,--
A worm his utmost goal.

The Robin for the Crumb
Returns no syllable
But long records the Lady's name
In Silver Chronicle.

By such and such an offering
To Mr. So and So,
The web of live woven—
So martyrs albums show!

A Worm, His utmost Goal.

The show is not the show,

The show is not the show,
But they that go.
Menagerie to me
My neighbor be.
Fair play--
Both went to see.

Portraits are to daily faces
As an Evening West,
To a fine, pedantic sunshine—
In a satin Vest!

The Daisy, to receive,
Gathered by Cato's Daughter,
With your majestic leave!

The good Will of a Flower
The Man who would possess
Must first present

Of minted Holiness.
