E.E. Cummings: The Cambridge ladies who live in furnished souls

 The Cambridge ladies who live in furnished souls
 are unbeautiful and have comfortable minds
 (also, with the church's protestant blessings
 daughters, unscented shapeless spirited)
 they believe in Christ and Longfellow, both dead,
 are invariably interested in so many things -
 at the present writing one still finds
 delighted fingers knitting for the is it Poles?
 perhaps. While permanent faces coyly bandy
 scandal of Mrs. N and Professor D
 ...the Cambridge ladies do not care, above
 Cambridge if sometimes in its box of
 sky lavander and cornerless, the
 moon rattles like a fragment of angry candy
