I felt it shelter to speak to you.
I held a jewel in my fingers And went to sleep. The day was warm, and winds were prosy; I said: "'T will keep." I woke and chid my honest fingers,— The gem was gone; And now an amethyst remembrance Is all I own.
I must go in, the fog is rising.
To multiply the harbors does not reduce the sea.
But a Book is only the Heart's Portrait- every Page a Pulse.
