Emily Dickinson (1830–86). Complete Poems. 1924. |
Part Three: Love LII |
| HE touched me, so I live to know | |
| That such a day, permitted so, | |
| I groped upon his breast. | |
| It was a boundless place to me, | |
| And silenced, as the awful sea | 5 |
| Puts minor streams to rest. | |
| And now, I ’m different from before, | |
| As if I breathed superior air, | |
| Or brushed a royal gown; | |
| My feet, too, that had wandered so, | 10 |
| My gypsy face transfigured now | |
| To tenderer renown. |
