Poem by Emily Elizabeth Dickinson

* * *

We never know how high we are  
  Till we are called to rise;  
And then, if we are true to plan,  
  Our statures touch the skies—  
   
The Heroism we recite
  Would be a daily thing,  
Did not ourselves the Cubits warp  
  For fear to be a King—

1. The Riddle We Can Guess
2. Playmates
3. Resurgam
4. The Martyrs
5. Surgeons Must Be Very Careful
