    Possession just as long —

    But these — endowing as they flit

               If thou canst love another, be it so;

               I would not reach out of my quiet grave...

    Have not or Have

    Adjacent sums

    Enough — the first Abode

    On the familiar Road

    Galloped in Dreams —
