To One denied the drink
To tell what Water is
Would be acuter, would it not
Than letting Him surmise?
To lead Him to the Well
And let Him hear it drip
Remind Him, would it not, somewhat
Of His condemned lip?

All these my banners be.
I sow my pageantry
In May
It rises train by train
Then sleeps in state again

My Reward for Being, was This.
My premium My Bliss
An Admiralty, less
A Sceptre penniless
And Realms just Dross

Could I but ride indefinite
As doth the Meadow Bee
And visit only where I liked
And No one visit me

Before the ice is in the pools
Before the skaters go,
Or any check at nightfall
Is tarnished by the snow

A House upon the Height
That Wagon never reached
No Dead, were ever carried down
No Peddler's Cart approached

A bird came down the walk:
He did not know I saw;
He bit an angle-worm in halves
And ate the fellow, raw.
