The Mind

The mountains grow unnoticed,

by Emily Dickinson 1830–1886

From Further Poems of Emily Dickinson (1929)

The Mind

The mountains grow unnoticed,
Their purple figures rise
Without attempt, exhaustion,
Assistance or applause.

In their eternal faces
The sun with broad delight
Looks long—and last,
And golden,
For fellowship at night.
