Emily Elizabeth Dickinson (Эмили Дикинсон)

The Martyrs

Through the straight pass of suffering
The martyrs even trod,
Their feet upon temptation,
Their faces upon God.

A stately, shriven company;
Convulsion playing round,
Harmless as streaks of meteor
Upon a planet's bound.

Their faith the everlasting troth;
Their expectation fair;
The needle to the north degree
Wades so, through polar air.

1. We Play at Paste
2. As Summer into Autumn Slips
3. In Lands I Never Saw, They Say
4. He Put the Belt around My Life
5. Going to Heaven!
