If You Were Coming in the Fall（1/1）

Eily Di

If you were gthe fall,

Id brh the sur by

With half a sile and half a spurn,

As hoewives do a fly.

If I uld see youa year,

Id d the onthsballs,

And put the eachseparate drawers,

Until their ti befalls.

If only turies deyed,

Id unt the on y hand,

Subtractg till y fgers dropped

Into Van Diens nd.

If certa when this life was out,

That yours and e should be,

Id toss it yonder like a rd, And taste eternity.

But now all ignorant of the length

Of tis ua g,

It goadslike the gobl bee,

That will not state its stg.
