Crumbling is not an instant's act

Item Information

Title:
Crumbling is not an instant's act
First Line :
Not to discover weakness is
First Line :
Best things dwell out of sight
First Line :
No other can reduce
First Line :
Superfluous were the sun
First Line :
This was in the white of the year
First Line :
The fingers of the light
First Line :
Ideals are the fairy oil
First Line :
The stimulus, beyond the grave
First Line :
Aurora is the effort
First Line :
Dying at my music
First Line :
There is no silence in the earth so silent
First Line :
Bind me - I still can sing
First Line :
The first we knew of him was death
First Line :
Falsehood of thee, could I suppose
First Line :
How still the bells in the steeples stand
First Line :
I was a phebe - nothing more
First Line :
Knows how to forget!
First Line :
Tis anguish grander than delight
First Line :
The soul should always stand ajar
First Line :
Up life's hill with my little bundle
First Line :
She rose as high as his occasion
First Line :
There is a zone whose even years
First Line :
Which is best? Heaven
First Line :
A bold, inspiriting bird
First Line :
Too scanty - 'twas to die for you
First Line :
Did we abolish frost
First Line :
Were it but me that gained the hight
First Line :
The hills in purple syllables
First Line :
To die, without the dying
First Line :
Who saw no sunrise cannot say
First Line :
I had a daily bliss
First Line :
My season's furthest flower
First Line :
Trudging to eden, looking backward
First Line :
Far from love the heavenly Father
First Line :
I knew that I had gained
First Line :
It rises - passes - on our south
First Line :
So large my will
First Line :
The products of my farm are these
First Line :
The dying need but little, dear
First Line :
Bloom - is result - to meet a flower
First Line :
My heart upon a little plate
First Line :
Twas my own glory
First Line :
Nor mountain hinder me
