248 <br /> <br />Why—do they shut Me out of Heaven? <br />Did I sing—too loud? <br />But—I can say a little "Minor" <br />Timid as a Bird! <br /> <br />Wouldn't the Angels try me— <br />Just—once—more— <br />Just—see—if I troubled them— <br />But don't—shut the door! <br /> <br />Oh, if I—were the Gentleman <br />In the "White Robe"— <br />And they—were the little Hand—that knocked— <br />Could—I—forbid?<br /><br />Emily Dickinson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/why-do-they-shut-me-out-of-heaven/
