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. Going
2. Their Height in Heaven Comforts Not
3. Two Swimmers Wrestled on the Spar
4. Who Robbed the Woods
5. A Country Burial
