All of your earthly words lurch

Feebly upon the outskirts of my mind,

And when they pass beyond them, they are blind.

Outward forms are but the graves

Of sound, and all the different waves

Of light and odor, they are sound

That floats unshaped and loosely gowned.

When sound is broken into parts

Your ears receive the smaller arts,

But when it drifts in broad release
