I thought the Train would never come -
How slow the whistle sang -
I don't believe a peevish Bird
So whimpered for the Spring -
I taught my Heart a hundred times
Precisely what to say -
Provoking Lover, when you came
Its Treatise flew away
To hide my strategy too late
To wiser be too soon -
For miseries so halcyon
The happiness atone -
More verses by Emily Dickinson
- A Spider sewed at Night
- Tell as a Marksman - were forgotten
- Glory is that bright tragic thing
- His voice decrepit was with Joy
- Whose Pink career may have a close
