American Literature – American Poetry – Emily Dickinson
< < < Far from love the Heavenly Father
Farewell > > >

---

Father, I bring thee not myself, —

---

Father, I bring thee not myself, —

   That were the little load;

I bring thee the imperial heart

   I had not strength to hold.

---

The heart I cherished in my own

   Till mine too heavy grew,

Yet strangest, heavier since it went,

   Is it too large for you?
