Fine poems for someone —
A pun for someone else.
You won’t please everyone.
I had to think,
It passed like a drill,
In an anxious waking.

Not a lecture for listeners,
But a lesson for myself,
So that my own soul,
Having heard from the spirit,

Would itself understand
And pass it to the body.
So it wouldn’t tease what is foreign,
But would govern its own.
