338 <br /> <br />I know that He exists. <br />Somewhere—in Silence— <br />He has hid his rare life <br />From our gross eyes. <br /> <br />'Tis an instant's play. <br />'Tis a fond Ambush— <br />Just to make Bliss <br />Earn her own surprise! <br /> <br />But—should the play <br />Prove piercing earnest— <br />Should the glee—glaze— <br />In Death's—stiff—stare— <br /> <br />Would not the fun <br />Look too expensive! <br />Would not the jest— <br />Have crawled too far!<br /><br />Emily Dickinson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-know-that-he-exists/
