Emily Dickinson – XIV – SOME things that fly there be

(14)


SOME things that fly there be, —
Birds, hours, the bumble-bee:
Of these no elegy.

 

Some things that stay there be, —
Grief, hills, eternity:
Nor this behooveth me.

 

There are, that resting, rise.
Can I expound the skies?
How still the riddle lies!
