It Sifts from Leaden Sieves

It sift's from Leaden Sieves
It powders all the Wood
It fills with Albaster Wool
The Wrinkles of the Road

It makes an Even Face
Of Mountain, and of Plain
Unbroken Forehead from the East
Unto the East again

It reaches to the Fence
It wraps it Rail to Rail
Till it lost in Fleeces
It deals Celestial Veil

To Stump, and Stack and Stem
A summer's empty Room
Acres of Joints , where Harvests were,
Recordless, but for them

It Ruffles Wrists of Posts
As Ankles of a Queen
Then stills its Artisans like Ghosts
Denying they have been

It powders all the wood
It reaches to the fence
It ruffles wrists of posts

Metaphor
It fills with alabaster wood
