I think I'd shoot the human race
And then to glory run!

The Possible's slow fuse is lit

May less appear
Than sacrifice, and cease --

Forever might be short, I thought to show --
And so I pieced it, with a flower, now.

And fitted to a frame,
And could not breathe without a key,
And 'twas like Midnight, some -
