It Was Too Late for Man, di Emily Dickinson

Emily Dickinson

It Was Too Late for Man

623

It was too late for Man—

But early, yet, for God—

Creation—impotent to help—

But Prayer—remained—Our Side—

How excellent the Heaven—

When Earth—cannot be had—

How hospitable—then—the face

Of our Old Neighbor—God—
