Emily Dickinson - A little east of JordanEmily Dickinson - A little east of Jordan
Work rating: Medium


A little east of Jordan,    Evangelists record,    A gymnast and an angel    Did wrestle long and hard,    Till morning touching mountain    And Jacob, waxing strong,    The Angel begged permission    To breakfast to return.    "Not so," said cunning Jacob!   "I will not let thee go   Except thou bless me" Stranger!   The which acceded to,   Light swung the silver fleeces   "Peniel" hills beyond,   And the bewildered gymnast   Found he had worsted God!
