The Sweeping up the Heart
And putting Love away
We shall not want to use again
Until Eternity.
(The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson)

Meanwhile -- Her wheeling King --Trailed -- slow -- along the Orchards --
His haughty -- spangled Hems --
Leaving a new necessity!

Without a quicker blood,
A sudden expectation
A flying attitude!

Nor try to tie the Butterfly,
Nor climb the Bars of Ecstasy,
In insecurity to lie
Is Joy's insuring quality.
Emily Dickinson
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
Oozed so in crimson bubbles
Day's departing tide --
Blooming -- tripping -- flowing
Are ye then with God?
Emily Dickinson
Knows the Adder Tongue his coming
And presents her Spot --
Stands the Sun so close and mighty
That our Minds are hot.
Emily Dickinson
