I see thee better -- in the Dark --
I do not need a Light -- The Love of Thee -- a Prism be -- Excelling Violet -- I see thee better for the Years That hunch themselves between -- The Miner's Lamp -- sufficient be -- To nullify the Mine -- And in the Grave -- I see Thee best -- Its little Panels be Aglow -- All ruddy -- with the Light I held so high, for Thee -- What need of Day -- To Those whose Dark -- hath so -- surpassing Sun -- It deem it be -- Continually -- At the Meridian?
1862
