Poems by Emily Dickinson
We talked as Girls do --
... Of ours, none affair --We handled Destinies, as cool -- ...
What Soft -- Cherubic Creatures
... Of Deity -- ashamed --It's such a common -- Glory -- ...
What tenements of clover
... For butterflies and me -- ...
When Katie walks, this simple pair accompany her side,
... When Katie kneels, their loving hands still clasp her pious knee -- ...
Where I have lost, I softer tread
... A little tremor in my voice Like this!Why, I have lost, the people know ...
Where Ships of Purple -- gently toss
... Where Ships of Purple -- gently toss -- ...
Will there really be a "Morning"?
... Is it brought from famous countries ...
Witchcraft was hung, in History,
... That beckoned it away!'Twas such a greedy, greedy wave ...
You cannot put a Fire out --
... Upon the slowest Night --You cannot fold a Flood -- ...
You left me -- Sire -- two Legacies --
... Had He the offer of --You left me Boundaries of Pain -- ...
"And with what body do they come?" --
... Illuminate the House!"Body!" Then real -- a Face and Eyes -- ...
"Arcturus" is his other name
... I hope the "Children" there Won't be "new fashioned" when I come -- ...
"Faithful to the end" Amended
... But the Heart withdraws --"I will give" the base Proviso -- ...
"Red Sea," indeed! Talk not to me
... "Red Sea," indeed! Talk not to me ...
"Why do I love" You, Sir?
... -- Of Talk -- There be -- preferred by Daintier Folk --The Sunrise -- Sire -- compelleth Me -- ...
