590 <br /> <br />Did you ever stand in a Cavern's Mouth— <br />Widths out of the Sun— <br />And look—and shudder, and block your breath— <br />And deem to be alone <br /> <br />In such a place, what horror, <br />How Goblin it would be— <br />And fly, as 'twere pursuing you? <br />Then Loneliness—looks so— <br /> <br />Did you ever look in a Cannon's face— <br />Between whose Yellow eye— <br />And yours—the Judgment intervened— <br />The Question of "To die"— <br /> <br />Extemporizing in your ear <br />As cool as Satyr's Drums— <br />If you remember, and were saved— <br />It's liker so—it seems—<br /><br />Emily Dickinson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/did-you-ever-stand-in-a-cavern-s-mouth/
