Emily Dickinson
I meant to find Her when I came
718

I meant to find Her when I came
Death—had the same design
But the Success—was His—it seems
And the Surrender—Mine

I meant to tell Her how I longed
For just this single time
But Death had told Her so the first
And she had past, with Him

To wander—now—is my Repose
To rest—To rest would be
A privilege of Hurricane
To Memory—and Me
