‘Twas awkward, but it fitted me –
An Ancient fashioned Heart –
Its only lore – its Steadfastness –
In Change – unerudite –
It only moved as do the Suns –
For merit of Return –
Or Birds – confirmed perpetual
By Alternating Zone –
I only have it not Tonight
In its established place –
For technicality of Death –
Omitted in the Lease –
(Emily Dickinson)
