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

Part Five: The Single Hound

XXI

THE MISSING All prevented me
From missing minor things.
If nothing larger than a World’s
Departure from a hinge,
Or Sun’s extinction be observed,        5
’T was not so large that I
Could lift my forehead from my work
For curiosity.
