Emily Dickinson Archive
Ah, Moon - and Star!You are very far - But - were no one farther than you - Do you think I'd stop for a firmament - Or a cubit - or so?I could borrow a Bonnet - of the Lark - And a Chamois' silver boot - And a stirrup of an Antelope - And leap to you - tonight! But - Moon - and Star -Though you're very far - There is one - farther than you - He - is more than a firmament - from me - And I cannot go!
