Emily Dickinson
(1830-1886)
Emily Dickinson was such a fantastic romantic.... would this work as a wedding poem?
LOVE THOU ART HIGH
Love - thou art high -
I cannot climb thee -
But, were it Two -
Who knows but we -
Taking turns - at the Chimborazo -
Ducal - at last - stand up by thee -
Love - thou art deep -
I cannot cross thee -
But, were there Two
Instead of One -
Rower, and yacht - some sovereign summer -
Who knows - but we´d reach the Sun?
Love - thou art Veiled -
A few - behold thee -
Smile - and alter - and prattle - and die -
Bliss - were an Oddity - without thee -
Nicknamed by God -
Eternity -
I have always believed that Christina Rossetti and Emily Dickinson are the best female poets to have ever lived.This poem is truly exquisite. I love it.
