The Mind
Longing is like the seed
From Further Poems of Emily Dickinson (1929)
The Mind
Longing is like the seed
That wrestles in the ground,
Believing if it intercede
It shall at length be found.
The hour and the zone
Each circumstance unknown,
What constancy must be achieved
Before it see the sun!
