Emily Dickinson (1830–86). Complete Poems. 1924. |
Part Two: Nature XCIX |
| A DEW sufficed itself | |
| And satisfied a leaf, | |
| And felt, “how vast a destiny! | |
| How trivial is life!” | |
| The sun went out to work, | 5 |
| The day went out to play, | |
| But not again that dew was seen | |
| By physiognomy. | |
| Whether by day abducted, | |
| Or emptied by the sun | 10 |
| Into the sea, in passing, | |
| Eternally unknown. |
