[BNP/E3, 49A3 – 22]

My heart must build its house in a fair chime

Of spirit, from the life away

From that sense-†[1], when Time

Shall in my †[2] soul attest[3] its song.

___________________________________________________

No house essentially of hall and †

Not[4] made by hands aware of future eyes;

That were too much for others for a home

It must might no vision cares to prize.

There I might the end of me live its life die[5]

As one that knows[6] we know not 

How nor why {…}

Why {…}

[22ar]

{…} thought

My soul shall not be even our newest †

Of these that lie with the † eyes.
