376
Of Course-I prayed-
And did God Care?
He cared as much as on the Air
A Bird-had stamped her foot-
And cried “Give Me”-
My Reason-Life-
I had not had-but for Yourself-
‘Twere better Charity
To leave me in the Atom’s Tomb-
Merry, and Nought, and gay, and numb-
Than this smart Misery.
(Emily Dickinson)
