The first Day that I was a Life

The first Day that I was a Life I recollect it -- How still -- That last Day that I was a Life I recollect it -- as well --

'Twas stiller -- though the first Was still -- "Twas empty -- but the first Was full --

This -- was my finallest Occasion -- But then My tenderer Experiment Toward Men --

"Which choose I"? That -- I cannot say -- "Which choose They"? Question Memory!
