Poems by Emily Dickinson
'Twas awkward, but it fitted me --
... In Change -- unerudite --It only moved as do the Suns -- ...
'Twas Crisis -- All the length had passed --
... And now the Chance had come --The instant holding in its claw ...
'Twas fighting for his Life he was --
... It aims once -- kills once -- conquers once -- ...
'Twas here my summer paused
... To other scene or other soul ...
'Twas later when the summer went
... 'Twas sooner when the Cricket went ...
'Twas Love -- not me
... Just Him -- not me --Such Guilt -- to love Thee -- most! ...
'Twas my one Glory --
... 'Twas my one Glory -- ...
'Twas the old -- road -- through pain
... Then -- stopped -- no other track!Wait! Look! Her little Book -- ...
'Twas warm -- at first -- like Us --
... The busy eyes -- congealed --It straightened -- that was all -- ...
'Twould ease -- a Butterfly --
... Thy moment Than a Bee's Eternity --Content of fading ...
A Bee his burnished Carriage
... Remained for her -- of rapture ...
A Burdock -- clawed my Gown
... The Burdock's Den --A Bog -- affronts my shoe -- ...
A Cap of Lead across the sky
... The Figure was withdrawn --A Chill came up as from a shaft ...
A chilly Peace infests the Grass
... These shadows scrutinize --Whose Allies go no more astray ...
A Clock stopped
... While cool -- concernless No --Nods from the Gilded pointers -- ...
