POEMS OF EMILY DICKINSON

This traverse may the poorest takeWithout oppress of toll;How frugal is the chariotThat bears a human soul!


C

WHO has not found the heaven belowWill fail of it above.God’s residence is next to mine,His furniture is love.


CI

A FACE devoid of love or grace,A hateful, hard, successful face,A face with which a stoneWould feel as thoroughly at easeAs were they old acquaintances,—First time together thrown.


CII

I HAD a guinea golden;I lost it in the sand,And though the sum was simple,And pounds were in the land,Still had it such a valueUnto my frugal eye,That when I could not find itI sat me down to sigh.

[54]
