"Love Thou Art High"

Emily Dickinson

Love—thou art high—

I cannot climb thee—

But, were it Two—

Who know but we—

Taking turns—at the Chimborazo—

Ducal—at last—stand up by thee—

Love—thou are deep—

I cannot cross thee—

But, were there Two

Instead of One—

Rower, and Yacht—some sovereign Summer—

Who knows—but we'd reach the Sun?

Love—thou are Veiled—

A few—behold thee—

Smile—and alter—and prattle—and die—

Bliss—were an Oddity—without thee—

Nicknamed by God—

Eternity—
