Poems by Emily Dickinson
The Sea said "Come" to the Brook --
... I want a Brook -- Come now"!The Sea said "Go" to the Sea -- ...
The Service without Hope --
... By stint -- Rewarded Work --Has impetus of Gain -- ...
The Show is not the Show
... The Show is not the Show ...
The Skies can't keep their secret!
... And they -- the Daffodils!A Bird -- by chance -- that goes that way -- ...
The smouldering embers blush --
... One requisite has Fire that lasts ...
The Snow that never drifts --
... Is softly driving now --So thorough in the Tree ...
The Soul should always stand ajar
... Or shy of troubling HerDepart, before the Host have slid ...
The Soul that hath a Guest
... Obliterate the need --And Courtesy forbid ...
The Soul unto itself
... An Enemy -- could send --Secure against its own -- ...
The Soul's distinct connection
... Or quick Calamity --As Lightning on a Landscape ...
The Spider holds a Silver Ball
... His Yarn of Pearl -- unwinds --He plies from Nought to Nought -- ...
The Spirit is the Conscious Ear.
... That is admitted -- Here --For other Services -- as Sound -- ...
The Spirit lasts -- but in what mode --
... Does that know -- now -- or does it cease -- ...
The Stars are old, that stood for me --
... I ever cared to earn --Presuming on that lone result ...
The stem of a departed Flower
... The Bearer from an Emerald Court ...
