I DWELL in Possibility
A fairer house than Prose,
More numerous of windows,
Superior of doors.
A fairer house than Prose,
More numerous of windows,
Superior of doors.
Of chambers, as the cedars—
Impregnable of eye;
And for an everlasting roof
The gables of the sky.
Impregnable of eye;
And for an everlasting roof
The gables of the sky.
Of visitors—the fairest—
For occupation—this—
The spreading wide my narrow hands
To gather Paradise.
For occupation—this—
The spreading wide my narrow hands
To gather Paradise.
