Emily Elizabeth Dickinson (Эмили Дикинсон)

At Length

Her final summer was it,
And yet we guessed it not;
If tenderer industriousness
Pervaded her, we thought

A further force of life
Developed from within, --
When Death lit all the shortness up,
And made the hurry plain.

We wondered at our blindness, --
When nothing was to see
But her Carrara guide-post, --
At our stupidity,

When, duller than our dullness,
The busy darling lay,
So busy was she, finishing,
So leisurely were we!

3. If the Foolish Call Them
4. Life's Trades
5. Unto My Books So Good to Turn
