Emily Dickinson - Before I got my eye put out

2014-11-07 94 Dailymotion

327 <br /> <br />Before I got my eye put out <br />I liked as well to see— <br />As other Creatures, that have Eyes <br />And know no other way— <br /> <br />But were it told to me—Today— <br />That I might have the sky <br />For mine—I tell you that my Heart <br />Would split, for size of me— <br /> <br />The Meadows—mine— <br />The Mountains—mine— <br />All Forests—Stintless Stars— <br />As much of Noon as I could take <br />Between my finite eyes— <br /> <br />The Motions of the Dipping Birds— <br />The Morning's Amber Road— <br />For mine—to look at when I liked— <br />The News would strike me dead— <br /> <br />So safer—guess—with just my soul <br />Upon the Window pane— <br />Where other Creatures put their eyes— <br />Incautious—of the Sun—<br /><br />Emily Dickinson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/before-i-got-my-eye-put-out/
