[A vagabond foot and a vagabond road]
 
[As, all distraught, with dark, neglected hair]
 
[The milkweeds nod their Rip-Van-Winkle heads]
 
[In the Garden of Skulls and Serpents]
 
[The pure precision of a star, a flower]
 
[I have listened long unto the promises]
 
[I saw the Spring go by, her mouth a thread]
 
[An Eldorado of vales and peaks]
 
[A rune of glimmer and a scrawl of light]
 
[The deep blue spike of the great lobelia glows]
 
[I gazed upon the wasted lips of Want]
 
[Green in the circle of contingent trees]
 
[On every side the roses rise]
 
[The shadows where no light looked through]
 
[With all my heart I deem it no great folly]
 
[What bird is that that sings so long]
 
[The sunset lets its heavy curtains down]
 
[These are the cups of Comus]
 
[Yea; death behind her, gazing through her hair]
 
[The blue wild hyssop, with its dewy mouth]
 
[Drab-colored seed pods of the autumn hung]
 
[A poet's soul 's unconscious of its dreams]
 
[The bright half moon, a boat pearl-white]
 
[When earth forgets one flower that comes with spring]
 
[All night it rained. Now in the dawn]
 
[I love to linger o'er the roseless rose]
 
[The auroral scent of morning lilies blows]
 
[As I went riding toward the sea]
 
[Clung o'er with cockle-burrs and thorny seeds]
