Poems by Emily Dickinson

  As if I asked a common Alms
  At last, to be identified!
  I taste a liquor never brewed
  Some keep the Sabbath going to the Church ­
  'Tis so much joy! 'Tis so much joy!
  There came a Day at Summer's full
  Dare you see a Soul at the White Heat?
  Forever -- is composed of Nows
  I see thee better -- in the Dark
  I'm ceded--I've stopped being Theirs
  Me from Myself -- to banish
  Our journey had advanced
  Take Your Heaven further on
  If Blame be my side -- forfeit Me
  It is a lonesome Glee
  The hallowing of Pain
  The Loneliness One dare not sound
  You constituted Time
  Always Mine!
  Before He comes we weigh the Time!
  I cannot buy it -- 'tis not sold
  Nature and God -- I neither knew
  It was a quiet way
  The Soul should always stand ajar
  There is a Zone whose even Years
  'Twas my one Glory
  Between the form of Life and Life
  More than the Grave is closed to me
  Of whom so dear
  The Pile of Years is not so high
  Who has not found the Heaven--below
