Emily Dickinson (1830–86). Complete Poems. 1924. |
Part Five: The Single Hound CVI |
| DUST is the only secret, | |
| Death the only one | |
| You cannot find out all about | |
| In his native town: | |
| Nobody knew his father, | 5 |
| Never was a boy, | |
| Hadn’t any playmates | |
| Or early history. | |
| Industrious, laconic, | |
| Punctual, sedate, | 10 |
| Bolder than a Brigand, | |
| Swifter than a Fleet, | |
| Builds like a bird too, | |
| Christ robs the next— | |
| Robin after robin | 15 |
| Smuggled to rest! |
