Simplicity

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

How happy is the little stone

      That rambles in the road alone,

And does n't care about careers,

And exigencies never fears;

Whose coat of elemental brown

A passing universe put on;

And independent as the sun,

Associates or glows alone,

Fulfilling absolute decree

In casual simplicity.
