For I remember stopping by the way To watch a Potter thumping his wet Clay:   And with its all-obliterated Tongue It murmur’d—”Gently, Brother, gently, pray!”

As then the Tulip for her morning sup Of Heav’nly Vintage from the soil looks up,   Do you devoutly do the like, till Heav’n To Earth invert you—like an empty Cup.

In remembrances.

January 1904
