Emily Dickinson's Collected Poems

Part Four: Time and Eternity 28. She went as quiet as the dew

She went as quiet as the dew

From a familiar flower.

Not like the dew did she return

At the accustomed hour!


She dropt as softly as a star

From out my summer's eve;

Less skilful than Leverrier

It's sorer to believe!
