In lands I never saw, they say

by Emily Dickinson · (no date)
Published 01/07/1880

      Immortal Alps look down,

Whose bonnets touch the firmament,

Whose sandals touch the town,—


Meek at whose everlasting feet

A myriad daisies play.

Which, sir, are you, and which am I,

Upon an August day?
