When Katie walks, this simple pair accompany her side,


When Katie walks, this simple pair accompany her side,
When Katie runs unwearied they follow on the road,
When Katie kneels, their loving hands still clasped her pious knee —
Ah! Katie! Smile at Fortune, with two so knit to thee!
Emily Dickinson
Garters
Emily sent a pair of knitted Garter to Catherine Mary Scott and wrote the poem above.
