Me — come! My dazzled face


Me — come! My dazzled face
In such a shining place!
Me — hear! My foreign Ear
The sounds of Welcome — there!
The Saints forget
Our bashful feet —
My Holiday, shall be
That They — remember me —
My Paradise — the fame
That They — pronounce my name –
Emily Dickinson
Emily is come to the Paradise!
I am come! My face is dazzled
In such a shining place!
I hear! The sounds of Welcome
Is foreign to me!
The Saints may not notice
Our reserved feet —
But They remember me
This day is My Holiday—
They pronounce my name
What fame! I am in the Paradise —
