Spleen + 

Sunday: this satisfied procession + 

Of definite Sunday faces; + 

Bonnets, silk hats, and conscious graces + 

In repetition that displaces + 

Your mental self-possession + 

By this unwarranted digression. + 

Evening, lights, and tea! + 

Children and cats in the alley; + 

Dejection unable to rally + 

Against this dull conspiracy. + 

And Life, a little bald and gray, + 

Languid, fastidious, and bland, + 

Waits, hat and gloves in hand, + 

Punctilious of tie and suit + 

(Somewhat impatient of delay) + 

On the doorstep of the Absolute. + 
