We Cover Thee — Sweet Face —

We Cover Thee — Sweet Face —
Not that We tire of Thee —
But that Thyself fatigue of Us —
Remember — as Thou go —
We follow Thee until
Thou notice Us — no more —
And then — reluctant — turn away
To Con Thee o'er and o'er —

And blame the scanty love
We were Content to show —
Augmented — Sweet — a Hundred fold —
If Thou would'st take it — now —

Emily Dickinson

Heartless Sun

We Cover You — Sweet Face —
Not that We are tired of You —
But that You are tired of Us —
Remember — as You go —
We follow You until
You notice Us — no more —
And then — reluctant — turn away
To remember You o'er and o'er —

And blame the scanty love
We were Content to show —
A Hundred fold Love ——
If You would take it now —
