I live with Him-I see His face

by Emily Dickinson

Emily Dickinson

463

I live with Him-I see His face-
I go no more away
For Visitor-or Sundown-
Death's single privacy

The Only One-forestalling Mine-
And that-by Right that He
Presents a Claim invisible-
No wedlock-granted Me-

I live with Him-I hear His Voice-
I stand alive-Today-
To witness to the Certainty
Of Immortality-

Taught Me-by Time-the lower Way-
Conviction-Every day-
That Life like This-is stopless-
Be Judgment-what it may-
