A Woman Waits for Me
O Captain! my Captain!
They shut me up in Prose—
Some keep the Sabbath going to church–
The Moon is distant from the Sea–
The Bustle in a House
”Hope” is the thing with feathers –
If I can stop one heart from breaking
The Brain—is wider than the Sky—
There’s a certain Slant of light
I had no time to Hate—
Because I could not stop for Death –
Ourselves were wed one summer — dear —
Defrauded I a Butterfly—
A Diamond on the Hand
The Mountains—grow unnoticed—
The Rose did caper on her cheek—
The Soul selects her own Society —
