American Literature – American Poetry – Emily Dickinson
< < < He put the belt around my life
Heart not so heavy as mine > > >

He touched me, so I live to know

He touched me, so I live to know

That such a day, permitted so,

   I groped upon his breast.

It was a boundless place to me,

And silenced, as the awful sea

   Puts minor streams to rest.

And now, I’m different from before,

As if I breathed superior air,

   Or brushed a royal gown;

My feet, too, that had wandered so,

My gypsy face transfigured now

   To tenderer renown.

Heart not so heavy as mine > > >
