Poem 10 (J 608: 1862/1890) Afraid! Of whom am I afraid? Not Death death — ; for who is He he ? The Porter porter of my Father's father's Lodge lodge As much abasheth me ! . Of Life life ? 'Twere odd I fear a [a] thing That comprehendeth me In one or two more— more Existences existences — Just as the case may be As Deity decree At Deity's decree — . Of Resurrection resurrection ? Is the East east Afraid to trust the Morn morn With her fastidious forehead? As soon impeach my Crown crown !
