Emily Dickinson
(709)
Publication - is the Auction
Of the Mind of Man -
Poverty - be justifying
For so foul a thing
Possibly - but We - would rather
>From Our Garret go
White - Unto the White Creator -
Than invest - Our Snow -
Thought belong to Him who gave it -
Then - to Him Who bear
Its Corporeal illustration - Sell
The Royal Air
In the parcel - Be the Merchant
Of the Heavenly Grace -
But reduce no Human Spirit
To Disgrace of Price -
