American Literature – American Poetry – Emily Dickinson
< < < Water is taught by thirst
We learn in the retreating > > >

We cover thee, sweet face

We cover thee, sweet face.

   Not that we tire of thee,

But that thyself fatigue of us;

   Remember, as thou flee,

We follow thee until

   Thou notice us no more,

And then, reluctant, turn away

   To con thee o’er and o’er,

And blame the scanty love

   We were content to show,

Augmented, sweet, a hundred fold

   If thou would’st take it now.

We learn in the retreating > > >
