My Heart ran so to thee
It would not wait for me
And I affronted grew
And drew away
For whatsoe’er my pace
He first achieve they Face
How general a Grace
Allotted two —
Not in malignity
Mentioned I this to thee —
Had he obliquity
Soonest to share
But for the Greed of him —
Boasting my Premium —
Basking in Bethleem
Ere I be there —
(Emily Dickinson)
