Religion
Its hour with itself
From Further Poems of Emily Dickinson (1929)
Religion
Its hour with itself
The Spirit never shows,
What terror would enthrall the street
Could countenance disclose
The subterranean freight,
The cellars of the soul,
Thank God the loudest place He made
Is licensed to be still!
