The Mind
The only news I know
From Further Poems of Emily Dickinson (1929)
The Mind
The only news I know
Is bulletins all day
From Immortality.
The only shows I see
To-morrow and To-day,
Perchance Eternity.
The only One I meet
Is God,—the only street
Existence, this traversed
If other news there be,
Or admirabler show—
I'll tell it you.
