I'll send the feather from my Hat!

by Emily Dickinson

Emily Dickinson

687

I'll send the feather from my Hat!
Who knows-but at the sight of that
My Sovereign will relent?
As trinket-worn by faded Child-
Confronting eyes long-comforted-
Blisters the Adamant!

    Storm-Music
    by Henry van Dyke
