Emily Elizabeth Dickinson (Эмили Дикинсон)

The First Lesson

Not in this world to see his face
Sounds long, until I read the place
Where this is said to be
But just the primer to a life
Unopened, rare, upon the shelf,
Clasped yet to him and me.

And yet, my primer suits me so
I would not choose a book to know
Than that, be sweeter wise;
Might some one else so learned be,
And leave me just my A B C,
Himself could have the skies.

1. Fringed Gentian
2. The Blue Jay
3. There Is a Shame of Nobleness
4. The Battle-Field
5. The Only Ghost I Ever Saw
