Unfinished Separations
[T]he Lark startle[s] the night from his watch-towre
'till doth com sorrow
Vine[s] twisted,
To[w]rs, Battlements
(perhaps
som beauty) Cynosure[—]
Tow'r'd Cities
the busie humm
where Knights and Barons (high triumphs) with [L]adies
bryght eies judge the prise,
Wit or Arms, Grace
oft appear[ing] mask[ed],
antique[?]
Such sights
Poets dream[ed]
Summer eeves[,]
Haunted stream[s] anon,
If—Ever
(giddy cunning) through mazes[,]
Untwist[ing] at midnight
in some Towr[.]
wher oft with[out]
What Worlds,
or minde[s]
in this
are found[?]
fire, air, and flood
Whose tale [(though rare)]
Might raise[,] Or bid
Love half-told
ought els[?]
[G]reat Bards beside, have sung,
inchantments
more then oft appeer[ing] high
storied Windows[,] Dimm light
Dissolve[ing] [me]

I am happier than you, 1
I am happier than you, 2: woman healing herself
