Poems by Emily Dickinson
I noticed People disappeared
... Supposed they visited remote ...
I pay -- in Satin Cash
... You did not state -- your price -- ...
I play at Riches -- to appease
... To win, become their turn --How fitter they will be -- for Want -- ...
I prayed, at first, a little Girl,
... How prayer would feel -- to me --If I believed God looked around, ...
I read my sentence -- steadily
... That at the last, it should not be a novel Agony -- ...
I reckon -- when I count it all --
... And then -- the List is done --But, looking back -- the First so seems ...
I rose -- because He sank --
... I helped his Film -- with Hymn --And when the Dews drew off ...
I saw no Way -- The Heavens were stitched
... I touched the Universe --And back it slid -- and I alone -- ...
I saw that the Flake was on it
... That cost me my honest Heart --But "you" -- she returned with valor ...
I saw the wind within her
... But she must buy my shelter ...
I send you a decrepit flower
... And I designed to stay --Her motive for the souvenir ...
I shall know why -- when Time is over
... In the fair schoolroom of the sky --He will tell me what "Peter" promised -- ...
I shall not murmur if at last
... Why, Katie, Treason has a Voice -- ...
I should have been too glad, I see
... Recited fluent -- here --Earth would have been too much -- I see -- ...
I should not dare to be so sad
... When we have put it down --The Superhuman then withdraws ...
