• No matter where the Saints abide,

    They make their Circuit fair

    Behold how great a Firmament

    Accompanies a Star.

  • No matter — now — Sweet —

    But when I'm Earl —

    Won't you wish you'd spoken

    To that dull Girl?


    Trivial a Word — just —

    Trivial — a Smile —

    When I'm Earl?


    I shan't need it — then —

    Eagles on my...

  • No Other can reduce

    Our mortal Consequence

    Like the remembering it be nought

    A Period from hence

  • No Passenger was known to flee —

    That lodged a night in memory —

    That wily — subterranean Inn

    Contrives that none go out again —

    The Eagle of his Nest

    No easier divest —
    ...

    To Credit — 'Tisn't true!

  • None can experience stint

    Who Bounty — have not known —

    The fact of Famine — could not be

    Except for Fact of Corn —

    Acquired by Reverse —

    The Poverty that was not Wealth —

    Cannot be Indigence.

  • None who saw it ever told it

    'Tis as hid as Death

    Had for that specific treasure

    A departing breath —

    Surfaces may be invested

    Did the Diamond grow

    General as the Dandelion

    Would you serve it so?
