Time & Brevity

From us she wandered now a year

by Emily Dickinson 1830–1886

Time & Brevity

From us she wandered now a year,
Her tarrying unknown;
If wilderness prevent her feet,
Or that ethereal zone

No eye hath seen and lived,
We ignorant must be.
We only know what time of year
We took the mystery.
