405 <br /> <br />It might be lonelier <br />Without the Loneliness— <br />I'm so accustomed to my Fate— <br />Perhaps the Other—Peace— <br /> <br />Would interrupt the Dark— <br />And crowd the little Room— <br />Too scant—by Cubits—to contain <br />The Sacrament—of Him— <br /> <br />I am not used to Hope— <br />It might intrude upon— <br />Its sweet parade—blaspheme the place— <br />Ordained to Suffering— <br /> <br />It might be easier <br />To fail—with Land in Sight— <br />Than gain—My Blue Peninsula— <br />To perish—of Delight—<br /><br />Emily Dickinson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/it-might-be-lonelier/
