Poem by Emily Elizabeth Dickinson

* * *

The Brain, within its Groove
Runs evenly — and true —
But let a Splinter swerve —
'Twere easier for You —

To put a Current back —
When Floods have slit the Hills —
And scooped a Turnpike for Themselves —
And trodden out the Mills — 

1. The Riddle We Can Guess
2. Playmates
3. Resurgam
4. Sight
5. Remorse
