First Line: The infinite’s being so wide
Last Line: The infinite’s being so wide


The Infinite's being so wide,
Is the reason the Powers provide,
For Inner defense my hIde.
For next defense outsIde,
I make myself this time
Of wood or granite or hme
A wall too hard for crime
Either to breach or climb.
Then a number of us agree
On a national boundary.
And that defense makes three
Between too much and me.
