I envy Seas, whereon He rides - I envy Spokes of Wheels Of Chariots, that Him convey - I envy Crooked Hills That gaze upon His journey - How easy all can see What is forbidden utterly As Eden - unto me!
I envy Nests of Sparrows - That dot His distant Eaves - The wealthy Fly, upon His Pane - The happy - happy Leaves -
That just abroad His Window Have Summer's leave to play - The Ear Rings of Pizarro Could not obtain for me -
I envy Light - that wakes Him - And Bells - that boldly ring To tell Him it is Noon, abroad - Myself - be Noon to Him -
Yet interdict - my Blossom - And abrogate - my Bee - Lest Noon in Everlasting Night - Drop Gabriel - and Me.
