Emily Dickinson's Collected Poems

Part Four: Time and Eternity 17. I never saw a moor

I never saw a moor,

I never saw the sea;

Yet know I how the heather looks,

And what a wave must be.


I never spoke with God,

Nor visited in heaven;

Yet certain am I of the spot

As if the chart were given.
