On that dear Frame the Years had worn — Yearbook

On that dear Frame the Years had worn 1
Yet precious as the House
In which We first experienced Light
The Witnessing, to Us-

Precious! It was conceiveless fair 5
As Hands the Grave had grimed
Should softly place within our own
Denying that they died.
(F.924/J.940)
