An Experience Annotated

Wit, weight, or wealth there was not
&nbsp In anything that was said,
&nbsp In anything that was done;
All was of scope to cause not
&nbsp A triumph, dazzle, or dread
&nbsp To even the subtlest one,
&nbsp       &nbsp My friend,
&nbsp To even the subtlest one.

But there was a new afflation -
&nbsp An aura zephyring round,
&nbsp That care infected not:
It came as a salutation,
&nbsp And, in my sweet astound,
&nbsp I scarcely witted what
&nbsp       &nbsp Might pend,
&nbsp I scarcely witted what.

The hills in samewise to me
&nbsp Spoke, as they grayly gazed,
&nbsp - First hills to speak so yet!
The thin-edged breezes blew me
&nbsp What I, though cobwebbed, crazed,
&nbsp Was never to forget,
&nbsp       &nbsp My friend,
&nbsp Was never to forget!
