Relation to religion

One should be satisfied with
death because it is for “an
Approving God”
The cycle will proceed
continuously

“A Light Exists in the Spring”
A Light exists in Spring
Not present on the Year
At any other period —
When March is scarcely here

Shows rebirth

A Color stands abroad
On Solitary Fields
That Science cannot overtake
But Human Nature feels
...

Then as Horizons step
Or Noons report away
Without the Formula of sound
It passes and we stay —
A quality of loss
Affecting our Content
As Trade had suddenly encroached
Upon a Sacrament
