Summer for Thee, Grant I May Be, par Emily Dickinson

Summer for Thee, Grant I May Be

Summer for thee, grant I may be

When Summer days are flown!

For thee to bloom, I’ll skip the tomb

And row my blossoms o’er!

Pray gather me—

Anemone—

Thy flower—forevermore!

725 Where Thou art—that—is Home— Cashmere—or Calvary—the same— Degree—or Shame— I scarce esteem Location’s Name—

If all the griefs I am to have Would only come today, I am so happy I believe They’d laugh and run away. If all the joys I am to have

No rack can torture me, My soul’s at liberty Behind this mortal bone There knits a bolder one You cannot prick with saw,

372 I know lives, I could miss Without a Misery— Others—whose instant’s wanting— Would be Eternity—

116 I had some things that I called m… And God, that he called his, Till, recently a rival Claim Disturbed these amities.

777 The Loneliness One dare not sound… And would as soon surmise As in its Grave go plumbing To ascertain the size—
