Heavenis What I Cannot Reach!

Emily Dickinson

239

“Heaven”-is what I cannot reach!
The Apple on the Tree-
Provided it do hopeless-hang-
That-”Heaven” is-to Me!

The Color, on the Cruising Cloud-
The interdicted Land-
Behind the Hill-the House behind-
There-Paradise-is found!

Her teasing Purples-Afternoons-
The credulous-decoy-
Enamored-of the Conjuror-
That spurned us-Yesterday!
