(73) Emily Dickinson – TAKEN from men this morning

TAKEN from men this morning,

Carried by men to-day,

Met by the gods with banners

Who marshalled her away.

 

One little maid from playmates,

One little mind from school,—

There must be guests in Eden;

All the rooms are full.

 

Far as the east from even,

Dim as the border star,—

Courtiers quaint, in kingdoms,

Our departed are.
