And clay that was "kneaden" of course in Eden—

A rhyme most novel, I do maintain:

Mists, bones, the singer himself, love-stories,

And all least furlable things got "furled;"

Not with any design to conceal their "glories,"

But simply and solely to rhyme with "world."

* * * * * * * *

O if billows and pillows and hours and flowers,

And all the brave rhymes of an elder day,

Could be furled together, this genial weather,
