Forgive me if I never visit. I am from the fields, you know, and while quite at home with the dandelions, make a sorry figure in a drawing room.
Emily DickinsonEarth is crammed with Heaven.
Emily DickinsonBeauty crowds me till I die,
Beauty, mercy have on me!
But if I expire today,
Let it be in sight of thee
Heart, we will forget him!
You and I, to-night!
You may forget the warmth he gave,
I will forget the light.
When you have done, pray tell me,
That I my thoughts may dim;
Haste! lest while you’re lagging,
I may remember him!

I have been bent and broken, but -I hope- into a better shape.
Emily DickinsonA Bird came down the Walk –
He did not know I saw –
He bit an Angleworm in halves
And ate the fellow, raw,
And then he drank a Dew
From a convenient Grass –
And then hopped sidewise to the Wall
To let a Beetle pass –
...
I ASKED no other thing,
No other was denied.
I offered Being for it;
The mighty merchant smiled.
Brazil? He twirled a button,
Without a glance my way:
“But, madam, is there nothing else
That we can show to-day?
Earth is a merry damsel, and heaven a knight so true
Emily DickinsonThen I will not repine
Knowing that bird of mine
Though flown shall in a distant tree
Bright melody for me
Return.
