POEMS. 165

Also, who laid the rainbow's piers, Also, who leads the docile spheres

By withes of supple blue ? Whose fingers string the stalactite, Who counts the wampum of the night,

To see that none is due ?

Who built this little Alban house And shut the windows down so close

My spirit cannot see ? Who '11 let me out some gala day, With implements to fly away,

Passing pomposity?
