One of the ones that Midas touched

 One of the ones that Midas touched
Who failed to touch us all
Was that confiding Prodigal
The reeling Oriole --

So drunk he disavows it
With badinage divine --
So dazzling we mistake him
For an alighting Mine --

A Pleader -- a Dissembler --
An Epicure -- a Thief --
Betimes an Oratorio --
An Ecstasy in chief --

The Jesuit of Orchards
He cheats as he enchants
Of an entire Attar
For his decamping wants --

The splendor of a Burmah
The Meteor of Birds,
Departing like a Pageant
Of Ballads and of Bards --

I never thought that Jason sought
For any Golden Fleece
But then I am a rural man
With thoughts that make for Peace --

But if there were a Jason,
Tradition bear with me
Behold his lost Aggrandizement
Upon the Apple Tree --

The Way to know the Bobolink

 The Way to know the Bobolink
From every other Bird
Precisely as the Joy of him --
Obliged to be inferred.
Of impudent Habiliment Attired to defy, Impertinence subordinate At times to Majesty.
Of Sentiments seditious Amenable to Law -- As Heresies of Transport Or Puck's Apostacy.
Extrinsic to Attention Too intimate with Joy -- He compliments existence Until allured away By Seasons or his Children -- Adult and urgent grown -- Or unforeseen aggrandizement Or, happily, Renown -- By Contrast certifying The Bird of Birds is gone -- How nullified the Meadow -- Her Sorcerer withdrawn!
