American Literature – American Poetry – Emily Dickinson
< < < It was not death, for I stood up
Joy in Death > > >

It was too late for man

---

It was too late for man,

But early yet for God;

Creation impotent to help,

But prayer remained our side.

---

How excellent the heaven,

When earth cannot be had;

How hospitable, then, the face

Of our old neighbor, God!
