Poetry




 * This was a Poet - It is That **


 * This was a Poet - It is That **
 * Distills amazing sense **
 * From ordinary Meanings - **
 * And Attar so immense **


 * From the familiar species **
 * That perished by the Door - **
 * We wonder it was not Ourselves **
 * Arrested it - before - **


 * Of Pictures, the Discloser - **
 * The Poet - it is He - **
 * Entitles us - by Contrast - **
 * To ceaseless Poverty - **


 * Of Portion - so unconscious - **
 * The Robbing - to Him - a Fortune - **
 * Exterior - to Time - **


 * Emily Dickinson **
