Love-thou art high-
I cannot climb thee-
But, were it Two-
Who know but we-
Taking turns-at the Chimborazo-
Ducal-at last-stand up by thee-
Love-thou are deep-
I cannot cross thee-
But, were there Two
Instead of One-
Rower, and Yacht-some sovereign Summer-
Who knows-but we’d reach the Sun?
Love-thou are Veiled-
A few-behold thee-
Smile-and alter-and prattle-and die-
Bliss-were an Oddity-without thee-
Nicknamed by God-
Eternity-
(Emily Dickinson)
