He was weak, and I was strong-then

by Emily Dickinson

Emily Dickinson

190

He was weak, and I was strong-then-
So He let me lead him in-
I was weak, and He was strong then-
So I let him lead me-Home.

'Twasn't far-the door was near-
'Twasn't dark-for He went-too-
'Twasn't loud, for He said nought-
That was all I cared to know.

Day knocked-and we must part-
Neither-was strongest-now-
He strove-and I strove-too-
We didn't do it-tho'!
