There's a certain Slant of light,
Winter Afternoons –
oppresses, like the Heft
Of Cathedral Tunes –
Heavenly Hurt, it gives us –
We can find no scar,
internal difference –
Where the Meanings, are –
None teach it – Any –
'Tis the seal Despair –
An imperial affliction
Sent us of the Air –
it comes, the Landscape listens –
Shadows – hold breath –
When it goes, 'tis like the Distance
the look of Death –
