The Reticent Volcano Keeps

1748

The reticent volcano keeps
His never slumbering plan-
Confided are his projects pink
To no precarious man.

If nature will not tell the tale
Jehovah told to her
Can human nature not survive
Without a listener?

Admonished by her buckled lips
Let every babbler be
The only secret people keep
Is Immortality.

Emily Dickinson
