186 <br /> <br />What shall I do—it whimpers so— <br />This little Hound within the Heart <br />All day and night with bark and start— <br />And yet, it will not go— <br />Would you untie it, were you me— <br />Would it stop whining—if to Thee— <br />I sent it—even now? <br /> <br />It should not tease you— <br />By your chair—or, on the mat— <br />Or if it dare—to climb your dizzy knee— <br />Or—sometimes at your side to run— <br />When you were willing— <br />Shall it come? <br />Tell Carlo— <br />He'll tell me!<br /><br />Emily Dickinson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/what-shall-i-do-it-whimpers-so/
