Void

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

GREAT streets of silence led away

      To neighborhoods of pause;

Here was no notice, no dissent,

No universe, no laws.


By clocks 't was morning, and for night

The bells at distance called;

But epoch had no basis here,

For period exhaled.
