[Faith points to viewless wonders all inherit]
[Doth Music tickle ear, and that's the whole?]
[Out of this hard and thin life]
[How should Oratory give]
[With pen and with pencil we're learning to say]
[Painters, Composers, can make use no doubt]
[How rotten the Art is that works for display!]
[Artist, your business is with surface: true.]

Blackberries
[How delightful, could I sin]
How
delightful, could I sin
And yet lose nothing—always win!
How much better 'tis to see
Sin is hurt and loss to me,
Soul and sin do not agree.
