I. CHOICE.
OF all the souls that stand createI have elected one.When sense from spirit files away,And subterfuge is done;
When that which is and that which wasApart, intrinsic, stand,And this brief tragedy of fleshIs shifted like a sand;
When figures show their royal frontAnd mists are carved away, —Behold the atom I preferredTo all the lists of clay!
