79 <br /> <br />Going to Heaven! <br />I don't know when— <br />Pray do not ask me how! <br />Indeed I'm too astonished <br />To think of answering you! <br />Going to Heaven! <br />How dim it sounds! <br />And yet it will be done <br />As sure as flocks go home at night <br />Unto the Shepherd's arm! <br /> <br />Perhaps you're going too! <br />Who knows? <br />If you should get there first <br />Save just a little space for me <br />Close to the two I lost— <br />The smallest "Robe" will fit me <br />And just a bit of "Crown"— <br />For you know we do not mind our dress <br />When we are going home— <br /> <br />I'm glad I don't believe it <br />For it would stop my breath— <br />And I'd like to look a little more <br />At such a curious Earth! <br />I'm glad they did believe it <br />Whom I have never found <br />Since the might Autumn afternoon <br />I left them in the ground.<br /><br />Emily Dickinson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/going-to-heaven/
