We miss Her, not because We see

by Emily Dickinson

Emily Dickinson

993

We miss Her, not because We see-
The Absence of an Eye-
Except its Mind accompany
Abridge Society

As slightly as the Routes of Stars-
Ourselves-asleep below-
We know that their superior Eyes
Include Us-as they go-

    The Willow
    by Dorothy Parker
    On sweet young earth where the myrtle presses, Long we lay, when the May was new; The willow was winding the moon in her tresses, The bud of the rose was told with dew.
