672 <br /> <br />The Future—never spoke— <br />Nor will He—like the Dumb— <br />Reveal by sign—a syllable <br />Of His Profound To Come— <br /> <br />But when the News be ripe— <br />Presents it—in the Act— <br />Forestalling Preparation— <br />Escape—or Substitute— <br /> <br />Indifference to Him— <br />The Dower—as the Doom— <br />His Office—but to execute <br />Fate's—Telegram—to Him—<br /><br />Emily Dickinson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-future-never-spoke/
