If pain for peace prepares

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

Lo the "Augustan" years

Our feet await!


If Springs from Winter rise,

Can the Anemone's

Be reckoned up?


If night stands first, then noon,

To gird us for the sun,

What gaze—


When, from a thousand skies.

On our developed eyes

Noons blaze!
