American Literature – American Poetry – Emily Dickinson
< < < Except the heaven had come so near
Exclusion > > >

---

Except to heaven, she is nought

---

Except to heaven, she is nought;

Except for angels, lone;

Except to some wide-wandering bee,

A flower superfluous blown;

---

Except for winds, provincial;

Except by butterflies,

Unnoticed as a single dew

That on the acre lies.

---

The smallest housewife in the grass,

Yet take her from the lawn,

And somebody has lost the face

That made existence home!

Exclusion > > >
