I felt a Funeral in my Brain
And Mourners to and fro
Kept treading - treading - till it seemed
That Sense was breaking through
And when they all were seated
A Service like a Drum
Kept beating - beating - till I thought
My mind was going numb
And then I heard them lift a Box
And creak across my Soul
With those same Boots of Lead again
Then Space - began to toll
As all the Heavens were a Bell
And Being but an Ear
And I and Silence some strange Race
Wrecked solitary here
And then a Plank in Reason broke
And I dropped down and down
And hit a World at every plunge
And Finished knowing - then
And then a Plank in Reason broke
And I dropped down and down
And hit a World at every plunge
And Finished knowing - then
