Twas Awkward, But It Fitted Me

Emily Dickinson

973

'Twas awkward, but it fitted me-
An Ancient fashioned Heart-
Its only lore-its Steadfastness-
In Change-unerudite-

It only moved as do the Suns-
For merit of Return-
Or Birds-confirmed perpetual
By Alternating Zone-

I only have it not Tonight
In its established place-
For technicality of Death-
Omitted in the Lease-
