Emily Dickinson (1830–86).  Complete Poems.  1924.

Part Four: Time and Eternity

LXXIII


TAKEN from men this morning,
Carried by men to-day,
Met by the gods with banners
Who marshalled her away.
  
One little maid from playmates,        5
One little mind from school,—
There must be guests in Eden;
All the rooms are full.
  
Far as the east from even,
Dim as the border star,—        10
Courtiers quaint, in kingdoms,
Our departed are.
