“God is moving round my house
Setting things to rights.
I hear his step upon the stair,
But like a savant in my lair
Crouch and nurse my fine despair. . . .
He wants to make of this my house
A sanitary sight.
He thinks it has a curious smell—
But I should do so very well
If I could keep my funny hell.”

“But you, the Master-Mistress of my mind,
Whose Demon sits high-throned above my stars—
But you, whose passionate pinions know no kind,
Whose scars are burnt with scars—
You will divine my song in your far place,
And call it with your wings, and hold it high;
And underneath the dark of that embrace
Young songs shall cry.”
