I'll clutch — and clutch —

Next — One — Might be the golden touch —

Could take it —

Diamonds — Wait —

I'm diving — just a little late —

But stars — go slow — for night —


I'll string you — in fine Necklace —

Tiaras — make — of some —

Wear you on Hem —

Loop up a...

I'll tell you how the Sun rose —

A Ribbon at a time —

The Steeples swam in Amethyst —

The news, like Squirrels, ran —

The Hills untied their Bonnets —

The Bobolinks — begun —

Then I said softly to myself —

"That must have been the Sun"!

But how he set — I know not —

...

I'm ceded — I've stopped being Theirs —

The name They dropped upon my face

With water, in the country church

Is finished using, now,

And They can put it with my Dolls,

My childhood, and the string of spools,

I've finished threading — too —


Baptized, before, without the choice,
...

I'm saying every day

"If I should be a Queen, tomorrow" —

I'd do this way —

And so I deck, a little,


If it be, I wake a Bourbon,

None on me, bend supercilious —

With "This was she —

Begged in the Market place —

Yesterday."


Court is a stately place —
...
