All the letters I can write
Are not fair as this -
Syllables of Velvet -
Sentences of Plush,
Depths of Ruby, undrained,
Hid, Lip, for Thee -
Play it were a Humming Bird -
And just sipped - me -
This is my letter to the World
That never wrote to Me -
The simple News that Nature told-
With tender Majesty
Her Message is committed
To Hands I cannot see -
For love of Her - Sweet - countrymen —
Judge tenderly — of Me
