She laid her docile Crescent down

13921She laid her docile Crescent down — 1396Emily Dickinson

She laid her docile Crescent down
And this confiding Stone
Still states to Dates that have forgot
The News that she is gone —

So constant to its stolid trust,
The Shaft that never knew —
It shames the Constancy that fled
Before its emblem flew —
