Emily Dickinson

10 December 1830 – 15 May 1886 / Amherst / Massachusetts

To the bright east she flies,

To the bright east she flies,
Brothers of Paradise
Remit her home,
Without a change of wings,
Or Love's convenient things,
Enticed to come.

Fashioning what she is,
Fathoming what she was,
We deem we dream -
And that dissolves the days
Through which existence strays
Homeless at home.
