Famous Poems by
Famous Poets :
Part Four: Time and Eternity, CXX
>> Emily Dickinson <<
THERE ’S something quieter than sleep
Within this inner room!
It wears a sprig upon its breast,
And will not tell its name.
Some touch it and some kiss it,
Some chafe its idle hand;
It has a simple gravity
I do not understand!
While simple-hearted neighbors
Chat of the “early dead”,
We, prone to periphrasis,
Remark that birds have fled!
