Poems by Emily Dickinson, Third Series

XX.

Reading edition

NUMEN LUMEN.

I live with him, I see his face; I go no more away For visitor, or sundown; Death's single privacy,

The only one forestalling mine, And that by right that he Presents a claim invisible, No wedlock granted me.

I live with him, I hear his voice, I stand alive to-day To witness to the certainty Of immortality

Taught me by Time, — the lower way, Conviction every day, — That life like this is endless, Be judgment what it may.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
