The Selected Poems of Emily Dickinson

"Heaven" has different Signs—to me— Sometimes, I think that Noon Is but a symbol of the Place— And when again, at Dawn,

A mighty look runs round the World And settles in the Hills— An Awe if it should be like that Upon the Ignorance steals—

The Orchard, when the Sun is on— The Triumph of the Birds When they together Victory make— Some Carnivals of Clouds—

The Rapture of a finished Day— Returning to the West— All these—remind us of the place That Men call "paradise"—

Itself be fairer—we suppose— But how Ourself, shall be Adorned, for a Superior Grace— Not yet, our eyes can see—
