\"Arcturus\" is his other name—
I\'d rather call him \"Star.\"
It\'s very mean of Science
To go and interfere!
I slew a worm the other day—
A \"Savant\" passing by
Murmured \"Resurgam\"—\"Centipede\"!
\"Oh Lord—how frail are we\"!
I pull a flower from the woods—
A monster with a glass
Computes the stamens in a breath—
And has her in a \"class\"!
Whereas I took the Butterfly
Aforetime in my hat—
He sits erect in \"Cabinets\"—
The Clover bells forgot.
What once was \"Heaven\"
Is \"Zenith\" now—
Where I proposed to go
When Time\'s brief masquerade was done
Is mapped and charted too.
What if the poles should frisk about
And stand upon their heads!
I hope I\'m ready for \"the worst\"—
Whatever prank betides!
Perhaps the \"Kingdom of Heaven\'s\" changed—
I hope the \"Children\" there Won\'t be \"new fashioned\" when I come—
And laugh at me—and stare—
I hope the Father in the skies
Will lift his little girl—
Old fashioned—naught—everything—
Over the stile of \"Pearl.\"
