Like Mighty Foot Lights -- burned the Red

© Emily Dickinson

Like Mighty Foot Lights -- burned the Red
At Bases of the Trees --
The far Theatricals of Day
Exhibiting -- to These --

Like Men and Women Shadows walk

© Emily Dickinson

Like Men and Women Shadows walk
Upon the Hills Today --
With here and there a mighty Bow
Or trailing Courtesy

Like Flowers, that heard the news of Dews,

Like Flowers, that heard the news of Dews,
But never deemed the dripping prize
Awaited their -- low Brows --
Or Bees -- that thought the Summer's name
Some rumor of Delirium,
No Summer -- could -- for Them --

Like Brooms of Steel

© Emily Dickinson

Like Brooms of Steel
The Snow and Wind
Had swept the Winter Street --
The House was hooked

Lightly stepped a yellow star

© Emily Dickinson

Lightly stepped a yellow star
To its lofty place --
Loosed the Moon her silver hat
From her lustral Face --

Light is sufficient to itself --

© Emily Dickinson

Light is sufficient to itself --
If Others want to see
It can be had on Window Panes
Some Hours in the Day.

Lift it -- with the Feathers

© Emily Dickinson

Lift it -- with the Feathers
Not alone we fly --
Launch it -- the aquatic
Not the only sea --

Life, and Death, and Giants --

© Emily Dickinson

Life, and Death, and Giants --
Such as These -- are still --
Minor -- Apparatus -- Hopper of the Mill --
Beetle at the Candle --
Or a Fife's Fame --
Maintain -- by Accident that they proclaim --

Life -- is what we make of it --

© Emily Dickinson

Life -- is what we make of it --
Death -- we do not know --
Christ's acquaintance with Him
Justify Him -- though --

Let Us play Yesterday --

© Emily Dickinson

Let Us play Yesterday --
I -- the Girl at school --
You -- and Eternity -- the
Untold Tale --

Let my first Knowing be of thee

© Emily Dickinson

Let my first Knowing be of thee
With morning's warming Light --
And my first Fearing, lest Unknowns
Engulf thee in the night --

Let me not thirst with this Hock at my Lip,

© Emily Dickinson

Let me not thirst with this Hock at my Lip,
Nor beg, with Domains in my Pocket --

Let down the Bars, Oh Death --

© Emily Dickinson

Let down the Bars, Oh Death --
The tired Flocks come in
Whose bleating ceases to repeat
Whose wandering is done --

Lest this be Heaven indeed

© Emily Dickinson

Lest this be Heaven indeed
An Obstacle is given
That always gauges a Degree
Between Ourself and Heaven.

Lest any doubt that we are glad that they were born Today

Lest any doubt that we are glad that they were born Today
Whose having lived is held by us in noble Holiday
Without the date, like Consciousness or Immortality --

Left in immortal Youth

Left in immortal Youth
On that low Plain
That hath nor Retrospection
Nor Again --

Least Bee that brew --

Least Bee that brew --
A Honey's Weight
Content Her smallest fraction help
The Amber Quantity --

Lay this Laurel on the One

Lay this Laurel on the One
Too intrinsic for Renown --
Laurel -- veil your deathless tree --
Him you chasten, that is He!

Lain in Nature -- so suffice us

Lain in Nature -- so suffice us
The enchantless Pod
When we advertise existence
For the missing Seed --

Lad of Athens, faithful be

Lad of Athens, faithful be
To Thyself,
And Mystery --
All the rest is Perjury --
