Emily Dickinson - I cannot live with YouEmily Dickinson - I cannot live with You
Work rating: Medium


I cannot live with You It would be Life And Life is over there Behind the Shelf The Sexton keeps the Key to Putting up Our Life His Porcelain Like a Cup Discarded of the Housewife Quaint or Broke A newer Sevres pleases Old Ones crack I could not die with You For One must wait To shut the Other`s Gaze down You could not And I Could I stand by And see You freeze Without my Right of Frost Death`s privilege? Nor could I rise with You Because Your Face Would put out Jesus` That New Grace Glow plain and foreign On my homesick Eye Except that You than He Shone closer by They`d judge Us How For You served Heaven You know, Or sought to I could not Because You saturated Sight And I had no more Eyes For sordid excellence As Paradise And were You lost, I would be Though My Name Rang loudest On the Heavenly fame And were You saved And I condemned to be Where You were not That self were Hell to Me So We must meet apart You there I here With just the Door ajar That Oceans are and Prayer And that White Sustenance Despair
