The longest day that God appoints

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

The little notes shall go as fast as steam can take them.

Our hearts already went. Would we could mail our faces for your dear encouragement.

Remember The longest day that God appoints

Will finish with the sun.

Anguish can travel to it's stake,

And then it must return.
