Poems by Emily Dickinson, Third Series

XXIV.

Reading edition

RETICENCE.

The reticent volcano keeps His never slumbering plan; Confided are his projects pink To no precarious man.

If nature will not tell the tale Jehovah told to her, Can human nature not survive Without a listener?

Admonished by her buckled lips Let every babbler be. The only secret people keep Is Immortality.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
