Emily Dickinson

10 December 1830 – 15 May 1886 / Amherst / Massachusetts

To See Her Is A Picture

To see her is a Picture —
To hear her is a Tune —
To know her an Intemperance
As innocent as June —
To know her not — Affliction —
To own her for a Friend
A warmth as near as if the Sun
Were shining in your Hand.
