14 <br /> <br />One Sister have I in our house, <br />And one, a hedge away. <br />There's only one recorded, <br />But both belong to me. <br /> <br />One came the road that I came— <br />And wore my last year's gown— <br />The other, as a bird her nest, <br />Builded our hearts among. <br /> <br />She did not sing as we did— <br />It was a different tune— <br />Herself to her a music <br />As Bumble bee of June. <br /> <br />Today is far from Childhood— <br />But up and down the hills <br />I held her hand the tighter— <br />Which shortened all the miles— <br /> <br />And still her hum <br />The years among, <br />Deceives the Butterfly; <br />Still in her Eye <br />The Violets lie <br />Mouldered this many May. <br /> <br />I spilt the dew— <br />But took the morn— <br />I chose this single star <br />From out the wide night's numbers— <br />Sue - forevermore!<br /><br />Emily Dickinson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/one-sister-have-i-in-our-house/
