Why make it doubt – it hurts it so

Why make it doubt – it hurts it so –
So sick – to guess –
So strong – to know –
So brave – upon it’s little Bed
To tell the very last They said
Unto Itself – and smile – And shake –
For that dear – distant – dangerous – sake –
But – the Instead –
——— the Pinching fear
That Something – it did do – or dare –
Offend the Vision – and it flee –
And They no more remember me –
Nor ever turn
——— to tell me why –
Oh, Master, This is Misery –
