A Stillvolcanolife

Emily Dickinson

601

A still-Volcano-Life-
That flickered in the night-
When it was dark enough to do
Without erasing sight-

A quiet-Earthquake Style-
Too subtle to suspect
By natures this side Naples-
The North cannot detect

The Solemn-Torrid-Symbol-
The lips that never lie-
Whose hissing Corals part-and shut-
And Cities-ooze away-
