Poems by Emily Dickinson

star nullstar nullstar nullstar nullstar null

I've known a Heaven, like a Tent

... In North America --No Trace -- no Figment of the Thing ...

star nullstar nullstar nullstar nullstar null

Ideals are the Fairly Oil

... But when the Vital Axle turns ...

star nullstar nullstar nullstar nullstar null

If all the griefs I am to have

... They could not be so big as this ...

star nullstar nullstar nullstar nullstar null

If ever the lid gets off my head

... Without a hint from me,And the world -- if the world be looking on -- ...

star nullstar nullstar nullstar nullstar null

If I could bribe them by a Rose

... My business were so dear!If they would linger for a Bird ...

star nullstar nullstar nullstar nullstar null

If I should cease to bring a Rose

... I have been called away --If I should cease to take the names ...

star nullstar nullstar nullstar nullstar null

If Nature smiles -- the Mother must

... If Nature smiles -- the Mother must ...

star nullstar nullstar nullstar nullstar null

If pain for peace prepares

... Be reckoned up?If night stands fast -- then noon ...

star nullstar nullstar nullstar nullstar null

In Ebon Box, when years have flown

... That quickened us like Wine!Perhaps a Flower's shrivelled check ...

star nullstar nullstar nullstar nullstar null

In rags mysterious as these

... Veiling the purple, and the plumes -- ...

star nullstar nullstar nullstar nullstar null

In snow thou comest --

... Thou shalt go with the resuming ground, ...

star nullstar nullstar nullstar nullstar null

In Winter in my Room

... That string was there --I shrank -- "How fair you are"! ...

star nullstar nullstar nullstar nullstar null

Inconceivably solemn!

... A pleading Pageantry --Flags, are a brave sight -- ...

star nullstar nullstar nullstar nullstar null

Is Immortality a bane

... That men are so oppressed ...

star nullstar nullstar nullstar nullstar null

It did not surprise me

... God's old fashioned vows --This was but a Birdling -- ...
