If I were half so fine myself

Muffled -- it remits surmise --
Murmured -- it has ceased --

Of which they who drink
In the fadeless orchards
Hear the bobolink!

When Skill entreated it -- the last --
And when so newly dead --

"Mansions"! Mansions must be warm!
Mansions cannot let the tears in,
Mansions must exclude the storm!
"Heaven" has different Signs -- to me --
© Emily Dickinson
"Heaven" has different Signs -- to me --
Sometimes, I think that Noon
Is but a symbol of the Place --
And when again, at Dawn,
"Go travelling with us!"
© Emily Dickinson
"Go travelling with us!"
Her travels daily be
By routes of ecstasy
To Evening's Sea --
"Go tell it" -- What a Message --
© Emily Dickinson
"Go tell it" -- What a Message --
To whom -- is specified --
Not murmur -- not endearment --
But simply -- we -- obeyed --
Would you like summer? Taste of ours.

Would you like summer? Taste of ours.
Spices? Buy here!
Ill! We have berries, for the parching!
Weary! Furloughs of down!
Why -- do they shut Me out of Heaven?
© Emily Dickinson
Why -- do they shut Me out of Heaven?
Did I sing -- too loud?
But -- I can say a little "Minor"
Timid as a Bird!
Whose cheek is this?
© Emily Dickinson
Whose cheek is this?
What rosy face
Has lost a blush today?
I found her -- "pleiad" -- in the woods
And bore her safe away.
Who never lost, are unprepared
© Emily Dickinson
Who never lost, are unprepared
A Coronet to find!
Who never thirsted
Flagons, and Cooling Tamarind!
Which misses most,
© Emily Dickinson
Which misses most,
The hand that tends,
Or heart so gently borne,
'Tis twice as heavy as it was
Because the hand is gone?
