Emily Dickinson - ArcturusEmily Dickinson - Arcturus
Work rating: Medium


"Arcturus" is his other name I`d rather call him "Star." It`s very mean of Science To go and interfere! I slew a worm the other day A "Savant" passing by Murmured "Resurgam" "Centipede"! "Oh Lord how frail are we"! I pull a flower from the woods A monster with a glass Computes the stamens in a breath And has her in a "class"! Whereas I took the Butterfly Aforetime in my hat He sits erect in "Cabinets" The Clover bells forgot. What once was "Heaven" Is "Zenith" now Where I proposed to go When Time`s brief masquerade was done Is mapped and charted too. What if the poles should frisk about And stand upon their heads! I hope I`m ready for "the worst" Whatever prank betides! Perhaps the "Kingdom of Heaven`s" changed I hope the "Children" there Won`t be "new fashioned" when I come And laugh at me and stare I hope the Father in the skies Will lift his little girl Old fashioned naught everything Over the stile of "Pearl."
