By my Window have I for Scenery
Just a Sea -- with a Stem --
If the Bird and the Farmer -- deem it a "Pine" --
The Opinion will serve -- for them --
By homely gift and hindered Words
© Emily Dickinson
By homely gift and hindered Words
The human heart is told
Of Nothing --
"Nothing" is the force
That renovates the World --
By a flower -- By a letter
© Emily Dickinson
By a flower -- By a letter --
By a nimble love --
If I weld the Rivet faster --
Final fast -- above --
By a departing light
© Emily Dickinson
By a departing light
We see acuter, quite,
Than by a wick that stays.
There's something in the flight
That clarifies the sight
And decks the rays.
But little Carmine hath her face --
© Emily Dickinson
But little Carmine hath her face --
Of Emerald scant -- her Gown --
Her Beauty -- is the love she doth --
Itself -- exhibit -- Mine --
Bound -- a trouble
© Emily Dickinson
Bound -- a trouble --
And lives can bear it!
Limit -- how deep a bleeding go!
So -- many -- drops -- of vital scarlet --
Deal with the soul
As with Algebra!
Blossoms will run away,
© Emily Dickinson
Blossoms will run away,
Cakes reign but a Day,
But Memory like Melody
Is pink Eternally.
Bloom upon the Mountain -- stated --
© Emily Dickinson
Bloom upon the Mountain -- stated --
Blameless of a Name --
Efflorescence of a Sunset --
Reproduced -- the same --
Bloom -- is Result -- to meet a Flower
© Emily Dickinson
Bloom -- is Result -- to meet a Flower
And casually glance
Would scarcely cause one to suspect
The minor Circumstance
Bind me -- I still can sing --
© Emily Dickinson
Bind me -- I still can sing --
Banish -- my mandolin
Strikes true within --
Better -- than Music! For I -- who heard it --
© Emily Dickinson
Better -- than Music! For I -- who heard it --
I was used -- to the Birds -- before --
This -- was different -- 'Twas Translation --
Of all tunes I knew -- and more --
Betrothed to Righteousness might be
© Emily Dickinson
Betrothed to Righteousness might be
An Ecstasy discreet
But Nature relishes the Pinks
Which she was taught to eat --
Best Things dwell out of Sight
© Emily Dickinson
Best Things dwell out of Sight
The Pearl -- the Just -- Our Thought.Most shun the Public Air
Legitimate, and Rare --The Capsule of the Wind
The Capsule of the MindExhibit here, as doth a Burr --
Best Gains -- must have the Losses' Test --
© Emily Dickinson
Best Gains -- must have the Losses' Test --
To constitute them -- Gains --
Besides this May
© Emily Dickinson
Besides this May
We know
There is Another --
How fair
Our Speculations of the Foreigner!
Besides the Autumn poets sing
© Emily Dickinson
Besides the Autumn poets sing
A few prosaic days
A little this side of the snow
And that side of the Haze --
Bereavement in their death to feel
© Emily Dickinson
Bereavement in their death to feel
Whom We have never seen --
A Vital Kinsmanship import
Our Soul and theirs -- between --
Bereaved of all, I went abroad --
© Emily Dickinson
Bereaved of all, I went abroad --
No less bereaved was I
Upon a New Peninsula --
The Grave preceded me --
Belshazzar had a Letter --
© Emily Dickinson
Belshazzar had a Letter --
He never had but one --
Belshazzar's Correspondent
Concluded and begun
Behold this little Bane --
© Emily Dickinson
Behold this little Bane --
The Boon of all alive --
As common as it is unknown
The name of it is Love --
