A Weight with Needles on the pounds
© Emily Dickinson
A Weight with Needles on the pounds --
To push, and pierce, besides --
That if the Flesh resist the Heft --
The puncture -- coolly tries --
A Visitor in Marl
© Emily Dickinson
A Visitor in Marl --
Who influences Flowers --
Till they are orderly as Busts --
And Elegant -- as Glass --
A train went through a burial gate,
© Emily Dickinson
A train went through a burial gate,
A bird broke forth and sang,
And trilled, and quivered, and shook his throat
Till all the churchyard rang;
A Tongue -- to tell Him I am true!
© Emily Dickinson
A Tongue -- to tell Him I am true!
Its fee -- to be of Gold --
Had Nature -- in Her monstrous House
A single Ragged Child --
A Toad, can die of Light --
© Emily Dickinson
Life -- is a different Thing --
So measure Wine --
Naked of Flask -- Naked of Cask --
Bare Rhine --
Which Ruby's mine?
A throe upon the features
© Emily Dickinson
A throe upon the features --
A hurry in the breath --
An ecstasy of parting
Denominated "Death" --
A still -- Volcano -- Life --
© Emily Dickinson
A still -- Volcano -- Life --
That flickered in the night --
When it was dark enough to do
Without erasing sight --
A stagnant pleasure like a Pool
© Emily Dickinson
A stagnant pleasure like a Pool
That lets its Rushes grow
Until they heedless tumble in
And make the Water slow
A Spider sewed at Night
© Emily Dickinson
A Spider sewed at Night
Without a Light
Upon an Arc of White.
A Sparrow took a Slice of Twig
© Emily Dickinson
A Sparrow took a Slice of Twig
And thought it very nice
I think, because his empty Plate
Was handed Nature twice --
A South Wind -- has a pathos
© Emily Dickinson
A South Wind -- has a pathos
Of individual Voice --
As One detect on Landings
An Emigrant's address.
A something in a summer's Day
© Emily Dickinson
A something in a summer's Day
As slow her flambeaux burn away
Which solemnizes me.
A Solemn thing within the Soul
© Emily Dickinson
A Solemn thing within the Soul
To feel itself get ripe --
And golden hang -- while farther up --
The Maker's Ladders stop --
And in the Orchard far below --
You hear a Being -- drop --
A solemn thing -- it was -- I said
© Emily Dickinson
A solemn thing -- it was -- I said --
A woman -- white -- to be --
And wear -- if God should count me fit --
Her blameless mystery --
A soft Sea washed around the House
© Emily Dickinson
A soft Sea washed around the House
A Sea of Summer Air
And rose and fell the magic Planks
That sailed without a care --
A Sloop of Amber slips away
© Emily Dickinson
A Sloop of Amber slips away
Upon an Ether Sea,
And wrecks in Peace a Purple Tar,
The Son of Ecstasy --
A single Clover Plank
© Emily Dickinson
A single Clover Plank
Was all that saved a Bee
A Bee I personally knew
From sinking in the sky --
A Sickness of this World it most occasions
© Emily Dickinson
A Sickness of this World it most occasions
When Best Men die.
A Wishfulness their far Condition
To occupy.
A Shade upon the mind there passes
© Emily Dickinson
A Shade upon the mind there passes
As when on Noon
A Cloud the mighty Sun encloses
Remembering
A science -- so the Savants say,
© Emily Dickinson
A science -- so the Savants say,
"Comparative Anatomy" --
By which a single bone --
Is made a secret to unfold
Of some rare tenant of the mold,
Else perished in the stone --
