A PROMPT, executive Bird is the Jay
A PROMPT, executive Bird is the Jay, / Bold as a Bailiff's hymn,
PROOF - That I did always love
❦
That I did always love,
I bring thee proof:
That till I loved
I did not love enough.
That I shall love alway,
I offer thee
That love is life,
And life hath immortality.
This, dost thou doubt, sweet?
Then have I
Nothing to show
But Calvary.

LOVE - Love is anterior to life
Love is anterior to life, / Posterior to death,
OF Death the sharpest function
OF Death the sharpest function, / That, just as we discern,
The bustle in a house
The bustle in a house / The morning after death
