I see thee better—in the Dark— <br />I do not need a Light— <br />The Love of Thee—a Prism be— <br />Excelling Violet— <br /> <br />I see thee better for the Years <br />That hunch themselves between— <br />The Miner's Lamp—sufficient be— <br />To nullify the Mine— <br /> <br />And in the Grave—I see Thee best— <br />Its little Panels be <br />Aglow—All ruddy—with the Light <br />I held so high, for Thee— <br /> <br />What need of Day— <br />To Those whose Dark—hath so—surpassing Sun— <br />It deem it be—Continually— <br />At the Meridian?<br /><br />Emily Dickinson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-see-thee-better-in-the-dark/
