To see her is a Picture —


To see her is a Picture —
To hear her is a Tune —
To know her an Intemperance
As innocent as June —
To know her not — Affliction —
To own her for a Friend
A warmth as near as if the Sun
Were shining in your Hand.
Emily Dickinson
An Oriole
To see her is a Picture —
To hear her is a Tune —
To know her is an Excess
As innocent as June —
To know her not is a Loss —
To own her for a Friend is
A warmth as near as if the Sun
Were shining in your Hand.
