Then the letting go
After great pain, a formal feeling comes
The nerves sit ceremonious, like tombs
The stiff heart questions, was it he, that bore
As Freezing persons, recollect the snow
First chill, then stupor, then the letting go
After great pain, a formal feeling comes
And yesterday, or centuries before
As Freezing persons, recollect the snow
First chill, then stupor, then the letting go
The feet, mechanical, go round
A quartz contentment, like a stone
After great pain, a formal feeling comes
Then the letting go [3x]
