Poems by Emily Dickinson

star nullstar nullstar nullstar nullstar null

A single Clover Plank

... From sinking in the sky --'Twixt Firmament above ...

star nullstar nullstar nullstar nullstar null

A Sloop of Amber slips away

... And wrecks in Peace a Purple Tar, ...

star nullstar nullstar nullstar nullstar null

A soft Sea washed around the House

... And rose and fell the magic Planks ...

star nullstar nullstar nullstar nullstar null

A solemn thing -- it was -- I said

... As hovering -- seen -- through fog --And then -- the size of this "small" life -- ...

star nullstar nullstar nullstar nullstar null

A Solemn thing within the Soul

... You hear a Being -- drop --A Wonderful -- to feel the Sun ...

star nullstar nullstar nullstar nullstar null

A something in a summer's Day

... Still chafes it narrow bed --Still rears the East her amber Flag -- ...

star nullstar nullstar nullstar nullstar null

A South Wind -- has a pathos

... The fairer -- for the farness -- ...

star nullstar nullstar nullstar nullstar null

A Sparrow took a Slice of Twig

... Was handed Nature twice --Invigorated, waded ...

star nullstar nullstar nullstar nullstar null

A Spider sewed at Night

... Of Immortality His Strategy ...

star nullstar nullstar nullstar nullstar null

A stagnant pleasure like a Pool

... And make the Water slowImpeding navigation bright ...

star nullstar nullstar nullstar nullstar null

A still -- Volcano -- Life --

... The North cannot detectThe Solemn -- Torrid -- Symbol -- ...

star nullstar nullstar nullstar nullstar null

A throe upon the features

... Denominated "Death" --An anguish at the mention ...

star nullstar nullstar nullstar nullstar null

A Toad, can die of Light --

... The Gnat's supremacy is large as Thine --Life -- is a different Thing -- ...

star nullstar nullstar nullstar nullstar null

A Tongue -- to tell Him I am true!

... Since Midnight -- happened -- say --If once more -- Pardon -- Boy -- ...

star nullstar nullstar nullstar nullstar null

A train went through a burial gate,

... And trilled, and quivered, and shook his throat ...
