To Put This World Down, Like A Bundle
527
To put this World down, like a Bundle-
And walk steady, away,
Requires Energy-possibly Agony-
'Tis the Scarlet way
Trodden with straight renunciation
By the Son of God-
Later, his faint Confederates
Justify the Road-
Flavors of that old Crucifixion-
Filaments of Bloom, Pontius Pilate sowed-
Strong Clusters, from Barabbas' Tomb-
Sacrament, Saints partook before us-
Patent, every drop,
With the Brand of the Gentile Drinker
Who indorsed the Cup-
Emily Dickinson
