I had no time to Hate
I had no time to Hate --
Because
The Grave would hinder Me --
And Life was not so

Could finish -- Enmity --
Nor had I time to Love --
But since

The little Toil of Love --
I thought
Be large enough for Me --
At Times Spoony Sometimes
at times spoony sometimes
forky our concupiscence
to life is such
