Humanity

O humanity doth like flower like something ever 
   even when night falls or tis twilight of dawn. 
  Or humanity is a word tolling, tolling,  tolling of course 
   or tis like a summer snow or winter gale or doth kind 
    of autumnal windy tides of a thing. 
  H may stand for hope or hinter or peace 
  U may stand for uprightness or utilitarianism or 
   something merer or better 
  tis N may be a smile about the word man. 
 O why when a swarm of  something will follow 
  we may behold remember such and such words?, 
  why when the world will awaken in the morning we will 
   do the same thing and when also it goes to sleep?, 
  why the bush even though is green is fearsome 
   or wild and war is pale or the moon is beholder 
  entertaining the eye or doth grasshopper?. 
O for a content of eerie and vampire tonight?, what is 
 sometimes  the best way out?.
