American Literature – American Poetry – Emily Dickinson
< < <
A Book (There is no frigate like a book) > > >

He ate and drank the precious words,

His spirit grew robust;

He knew no more that he was poor,

Nor that his frame was dust.

He danced along the dingy days,

And this bequest of wings

Was but a book. What liberty

A loosened spirit brings!
