How many times these low feet staggered
How many times these low feet staggered-
Only the soldered mouth can tell
Try-
can you stir the awful rivet
Try-
can you lift the hasps of steel!
Stroke the cool forehead-hot so often
Lift-
if you care-the listless hair-
Handle the adamantine fingers
Never a thimble-more-shall wear-
Buzz the dull flies-on the chamber window
Brave-
shines the sun through the freckled pane
Fearless-
the cobweb swings from the ceiling-
Indolent Housewife-in Daisies-lain!
Only the soldered mouth can tell
Try-
can you stir the awful rivet
Try-
can you lift the hasps of steel!
Stroke the cool forehead-hot so often
Lift-
if you care-the listless hair-
Handle the adamantine fingers
Never a thimble-more-shall wear-
Buzz the dull flies-on the chamber window
Brave-
shines the sun through the freckled pane
Fearless-
the cobweb swings from the ceiling-
Indolent Housewife-in Daisies-lain!
