493 <br /> <br />The World—stands—solemner—to me— <br />Since I was wed—to Him— <br />A modesty befits the soul <br />That bears another's—name— <br />A doubt—if it be fair—indeed— <br />To wear that perfect—pearl— <br />The Man—upon the Woman—binds— <br />To clasp her soul—for all— <br />A prayer, that it more angel—prove— <br />A whiter Gift—within— <br />To that munificence, that chose— <br />So unadorned—a Queen— <br />A Gratitude—that such be true— <br />It had esteemed the Dream— <br />Too beautiful—for Shape to prove— <br />Or posture—to redeem!<br /><br />Emily Dickinson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-world-stands-solemner-to-me/
