283 <br /> <br />A Mien to move a Queen— <br />Half Child—Half Heroine— <br />An Orleans in the Eye <br />That puts its manner by <br />For humbler Company <br />When none are near <br />Even a Tear— <br />Its frequent Visitor— <br /> <br />A Bonnet like a Duke— <br />And yet a Wren's Peruke <br />Were not so shy <br />Of Goer by— <br />And Hands—so slight— <br />They would elate a Sprite <br />With Merriment— <br /> <br />A Voice that Alters—Low <br />And on the Ear can go <br />Like Let of Snow— <br />Or shift supreme— <br />As tone of Realm <br />On Subjects Diadem— <br /> <br />Too small—to fear— <br />Too distant—to endear— <br />And so Men Compromise <br />And just—revere—<br /><br />Emily Dickinson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-mien-to-move-a-queen/
