Bring me the sunset in a cup,
Reckon the morning's flagons up
And say how many Dew,
Tell me how far the morning leaps --
Tell me what time the weaver¹ sleeps
Who spun² the breadth of blue!

Write me how many notes there be
In the new Robin's ecstasy
Among astonished boughs³ --
How many trips the Tortoise makes --
How many cups the Bee partakes,
The Debauchee of Dews!

Also, who laid the Rainbow's piers,
Also, who leads the docile⁴ spheres
By withes of supple⁵ blue?
Whose fingers string the stalactite --
Who counts the wampum of the night
To see that none is due?

Who built this little Alban House
And shut the windows down so close
My spirit cannot see?
Who'll let me out some gala day
With implements⁶ to fly away,
Passing Pomposity⁷?
