580 <br /> <br />I gave myself to Him— <br />And took Himself, for Pay, <br />The solemn contract of a Life <br />Was ratified, this way— <br /> <br />The Wealth might disappoint— <br />Myself a poorer prove <br />Than this great Purchaser suspect, <br />The Daily Own—of Love <br /> <br />Depreciate the Vision— <br />But till the Merchant buy— <br />Still Fable—in the Isles of Spice— <br />The subtle Cargoes—lie— <br /> <br />At least—'tis Mutual—Risk— <br />Some—found it—Mutual Gain— <br />Sweet Debt of Life—Each Night to owe— <br />Insolvent—every Noon—<br /><br />Emily Dickinson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-gave-myself-to-him/
