The Mind

Elijah's wagon knew no thill

by Emily Dickinson 1830–1886

From The Single Hound (1914)

The Mind

Elijah's wagon knew no thill,
Was innocent of wheel,
Elijah's horses as unique
As was his vehicle.
Elijah's journey to portray,
Expire with him the skill,
Who justified Elijah,
In feats inscrutable.
