The Mind
These are signs to Nature's inns,
From Further Poems of Emily Dickinson (1929)
The Mind
These are the signs to Nature's inns,
Her invitation broad
For whomsoever famishing
To taste her mystic bread.
These are the rites of Nature's house,
The hospitality
That opens with an equal width
To beggar or to bee.
For sureties of her staunch estate,
Her undecaying cheer,
The purple in the East is set
And in the North, the star.
