A fairer House than Prose—
More numerous of Windows—
Superior—for Doors—.

Is Poetry, though never in a Book it lie—
True Poems flee—

"Hope" is the thing with feathers—
That perches in the soul—
And sings the tunes without the words—
And never stops—at all—.

A word is dead
When it is said,
Some say.
I say it just
Begins to live
That day.
