Stanzas In Meditation: Stanza XIV

She need not be selfish but he may add 
They like my way it is partly mine 
In which case for them to foil or not please 
Come which they may they may in June. 
Not having all made plenty by their wish 
In their array all which they plan 
Should they be called covered by which 
It is fortunately their stay that they may 
In which and because it suits them to fan 
Not only not with clover but with may it matter 
That not only at a distance and with nearly 
That they ran for which they will not only plan 
But may be rain can be caught by the hills 
Just as well as they can with what they have 
And they may have it not only because of this 
But because they may be here. 
Or is it at all likely that they arrange what they like. 
Nohody knows just why they are or are not anxious 
While they sit and watch the horse which rests 
Not because he is tired but because they are waiting 
To say will they wait with them in their way 
Only to say it relieves them that they go away 
This is what they feel when they like it 
Most of them do or which 
It is very often their need not to be either 
Just why they are after all made quickly faster 
Just as they might do. 
It is what they did say when they mentioned it 
Or this. 
It is very well to go up and down and look more 
Than they could please that they see where 
It is better that they are there
