EXCEPT TO HEAVEN, SHE IS NOUGHT, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
Last Line: That made existence — home!
Subject(s): Life


Except to Heaven, she is nought.
Except for Angels - lone.
Except to some wide-wandering Bee
A flower superfluous blown.

Except for winds - provincial.
Except by Butterflies
Unnoticed as a single dew
That on the Acre lies.

The smallest Housewife in the grass,
Yet take her from the Lawn
And somebody has lost the face
That made Existence - Home!
