240 <br /> <br />Ah, Moon—and Star! <br />You are very far— <br />But were no one <br />Farther than you— <br />Do you think I'd stop <br />For a Firmament— <br />Or a Cubit—or so? <br /> <br />I could borrow a Bonnet <br />Of the Lark— <br />And a Chamois' Silver Boot— <br />And a stirrup of an Antelope— <br />And be with you—Tonight! <br /> <br />But, Moon, and Star, <br />Though you're very far— <br />There is one—farther than you— <br />He—is more than a firmament—from Me— <br />So I can never go!<br /><br />Emily Dickinson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ah-moon-and-star/
