surprise! at eyes' first glance in the morn
never dost thou fail to say hello.
surprise! at bell's first toll,
never dost thou forget these hands so cold.
surprise! with every hiatus noon,
never dost thou neglect the hungry moans.
and at every sweet sorrow part, surprise!
never dost thou fail to claim your love.

never dost thou fail nor forget.
nor fall to neglect.
what a surprise, that thou never miss a step,
nor rearrange this orderly kept
Schedule of Love.
