Smile, or?
(sonnet #MMMMMMMDCCCLXXX)
White. Snow. Sae del'cate that we feel it hence
Within our souls: that hallowed silence they'll
Assure ye is what Sunday's due. T'inhale
Is what we do, half stifled, til I thence
Am lo, some heathen, breaking in fr'intents
And shattring that fine calm as I exhale
My raptures with sheer glee words maught avail
Aught else, Dad chiding me like's sans defense.
So I pass through to breakfast: late. Yes, stir
Him 'spite all that to later say it too,
Whenas the dainty white is heavy--we're
Agreed tis verra wet, and will melt to
Effect ere we're aware, nor linger. Pure
Sweet silence calls unto my soul as't woo.

The "him" in L10 is my dad.
