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

Part Five: The Single Hound

CXVII


THE INUNDATION of the Spring
Submerges every soul,
It sweeps the tenement away
But leaves the water whole.
In which the Soul, at first alarmed,        5
Seeks furtive for its shore,
But acclimated, gropes no more
For that Peninsular.
