Religion
Just once! Oh, least request!
From Further Poems of Emily Dickinson (1929)
Religion
Just once! Oh, least request!
Could Adamant refuse
So small a grace
So scanty put—
Such agonizing terms?
Would not a God of Flint
Be conscious of a sigh
As down His Heaven
Dropt, remote,
"Just once! Sweet Deity?"
