persons who pray- dare remark our "Father!" You say I do not tell you all- Daisy "confessed- and denied not." Vesuvius dont talk- Etna- dont- They (2) said a syllable- (1) one of them- a thousand years ago, and Pompeii heard it, and hid forever- She could'nt look the world in the face, afterward- I suppose- Bashful Pompeii! "Tell you of the want"- you know what a leech is, dont you- and (remember that) Daisy's arm is small- and you have felt the Horizon- hav'nt you- and did the sea- (n)ever come so close as to make you dance? I dont know what you can do for it- thank you- Master-

-but if I had the Beard on my cheek- (like you-) and you- had Daisy's petals- and you cared so for me- what would  become of you? Could you forget (me) in fight, or flight- or the foreign land? Could Carlo, and you and I walk in the meadows an hour- and nobody care but the Bobolink- and his- a silver scruple? I used to think when I died I could see you- so I died as fast as I could- but the  "Corporation" are going (too)- so Eternity Heaven wont be sequestered- at all (now)- Say I may wait for you- Say I need go with no stranger to the to me- untried country (fold) I waited a long time- Master- but I can want more- wait till my hazel hair is dappled-

and you carry the cane- then I can look at my watch- and if the Day is too far declined- we can take the chances of (for) Heaven- What would you do with me if I came "in white"? Have you the little chest- to put the alive- in? I want to see you more- Sir- than all I wish for in this world- and the wish- altered a little- will be my only one- for the skies- Could you come to New England- this summer- could (Would ) you come to Amherst- Would you like to come- Master? Would it do harm- yet we both fear God- Would Daisy disappoint you- no she would'nt- Sir- it were comfort forever- just

to look in your face, while you looked in mine- then I could play in the woods- till  Dark- till you take me where sundown cannot find us- and the true keep coming- till the town is full. Will you tell me if you will? I did'nt think to tell you, you did'nt come to me "in white"- nor ever told me why- +No Rose, yet felt myself a'bloom, No Bird- yet rode in Ether-    < >  inserted readings    you  cancelled readings
