Emily Dickinson (1830–86).  Complete Poems.  1924.

Part Four: Time and Eternity

LXXXVII


THAT is solemn we have ended,—
  Be it but a play,
Or a glee among the garrets,
  Or a holiday,
  
Or a leaving home; or later,        5
  Parting with a world
We have understood, for better
  Still it be unfurled.
