POEMS. 59
��XLIV.
��'HPHE bone that has no marrow
- What ultimate for that?
It is not fit for table, For beggar, or for cat.
A bone has obligations, A being has the same ;
A marrowless assembly Is culpabler than shame.
But how shall finished creatures A function fresh obtain ?
Old Nicodemus' phantom Confronting us again !
